What you’ll learn in this episode:
How jewelry can be used to tell people’s life stories What “ningen” are, and how Asagi uses them in her work Where Asagi draws her inspiration from How Asagi has taken “jewelry as sculpture” to a new level About Asagi Maeda
Asagi Maeda lives in Tokyo, where she makes jewelry and lectures on jewelry making at Jyoshibi University of Art and Design. She is fascinated by the notion of the city being a mass of boxes we can peer into and catch a glimpse of a stranger’s life. She’s translated this idea into her necklaces, bracelets, and rings, which feature tiny worlds. What delights her most about her creations is that people can both wear them as adornment and become part of the worlds they depict.
Asagi has been included in solo and group exhibitions at Mobilia Gallery, SOFA Chicago, LOOT, the National Ornamental Metal Museum, and Dan Ginza Gallery in Tokyo. Her work is part of the jewelry collections at the Museum of Arts and Design, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and numerous international private collections.
