Sergey Jivetin on Joan Parcher—Connections: Renwick Gallery

An early encounter with Joan Parcher’s “Graphite Pendulum Pendant”—via images—transformed Sergey Jivetin’s understanding of the possibilities of artistic expression in a jewelry format.

“Connections: Contemporary Craft at the Renwick Gallery” highlights the evolution of the craft field as it transitions into a new phase at the hands of contemporary artists, which in some way echoes the communal spirit and ideology of the pioneers of the American Studio Craft Movement in their heyday.
