Nirit Dekel expresses a fresh view of the glass beads jewelry art.
The beads are colorful, full of humor, optimism and movement.
They look so a live like tiny funny aliens or imaginary creatures
ready to tickle you.
"As long as I remember I was into art. I studied and practiced
drawing, painting and jewelry and for years I kept it on a small (yet
consistent) fire as a hobby. As I graduate university I was swept into
the high-tech wave and had a career in one of the largest high-tech
firms in Israel. With time I felt that I'm missing my main love – art &
craft. As I saw Chihuly's exhibition at David's tower in Jerusalem's
wall as part of the festivities of year 2000 it was like an alarm clock
waking me back to life. I was drawn as magnet to the glass material
and immediately fell in love with it. I'm fascinated by glass because I
find it a manifold material. It's a daily life casual material yet has the
ability of becoming delicate, refined and elegant and can be played
with in an infinite possibilities. Glass has a sense of vitality. It's a
living material evolving all the time that comes from nature and can
merge back in to it. Glass beads are like people for me. It's like they
have movement inside them. They look awake, moving, bubbling,
winking, and restlessly jumping. There is no stability or fixation
about them and each one is a bit different and has its own
personality. Glass has an honorable part in the history of jewels and
art objects and has had a peculiar role in the Mediterranean
culture. For me it's a challenge to make my own mark and be a part
of this ongoing way of preening."
