His contemporary jewellery is a crystallisation of thousands of years of Chinese material history. Square rings rub shoulders with antique porcelain forms, shapes taken from Ming furniture and the geometric latticework found in Chinese architecture. Yewn focuses on these traditional Chinese motifs, but also understands the significance of different materials. Wood, one of the five elements in Chinese philosophy, is present in most of his collections. To wear a contemporary jewel by Dickson Yewn is to delve back into China's works of art and its history, blended with a contemporary twist. This new monograph of his work details the inspiration Yewn has drawn from the Imperial court, exploring its influence on the art of jewellery, from silks, embroidery, painting, architecture and cloisonné enamel to courtesan culture. Beautiful, detailed illustrations and photographs highlight Yewn's fealty to the artisanal techniques employed by the Imperial courts. Esteemed jewellery writer Juliet Weir-de La Rochefoucauld invites the reader to explore the deeper symbolism behind Yewn's jewels. -- From publisher's website. 504 $a Includes index. 505 00 $t Jade $t Lattice -- $t Glorious peony -- $t The Manchurian -- $t Imperial tapestry -- $t Imperial grace -- $t Cloisonné -- $t Floral fan -- $t Gongbi -- $t Snuff bottles -- $t Imperial sword -- $t Jade 600 10 $a Yewn, Dickson 650 0 $a Jewelry $z China. 650 0 $a Art, Chinese $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Jewelry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00982535 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 700 12 $a Yewn, Dickson. $t Works. $k Selections. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023241.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F9810C1C56B111EEB3013A8641ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
