Shirly Bar Amotz: Happy Days

The Andrea M. Bronfman Prize
Jewelry serves artist Shirley Bar-Amotz as a means for making socially relevant statements. Using "free craft" which combines precious metals with synthetic materials and ready-made molds, Bar-Amotz creates tiny worlds, seemingly from European landscapes: forests, lakes and snow-capped mountains, as well as animals trapped in mounds of color, forming a duality of joyful colorfulness and a tough reality.
