  • Jennifer Shaifer Thesis
    50 specialized in the lost-wax casting method to create his work and even wrote a textbook on the subject.113 Winston influenced the work of MAG members Robert Dhaemers, Florence Resnikoff, and Irena Brynner, among others. Robert Dhaemers utilized techniques and surface treatments such as patinas and engraving to give his jewelry a worn appearance. He didn’t believe in the “artificial maintenance” of keeping jewelry polished.114 Florence Resnikoff’s jewelry showcased her interest in color and metallurgy. She utilized several techniques to achieve her designs including casting, enameling, electroforming, and anodization of refractory metals.115 Franz Bergmann, an immigrant from Vienna, was one of the few jewelers in San Francisco who maintained an atelier. He forged wire and cut sheets to produce his works with a constructivist and/or surrealist designs.116 Irena Brynner, who apprenticed with Bergmann briefly, looked at jewelry as sculpture and applied techniques such as forging and piercing to realize her designs. Her later works simulated the appearance of the lost-wax casting techniques; however, she developed a new aesthetic using a tool called a water welder.117 Peter Macchiarini, another studio/shop owner, incorporated ideas of constructivism and anthropomorphism in his designs. His designs showcased internal structures with the use of patinas as well as found objects.118 Merry Renk replicated the geometric abstract structures found in nature. Her early works were nonobjective designs that emphasized the potential of metal by using interlocking forms, metal folding, and enamel. As she developed her design philosophy, she progressed into more realistic and less abstract forms.

If this is any indication of her presentation on July 21st, we are in for an unusual treat. She will share her artistic journey beginning with the early influences she experienced growing up in New York City to finally discovering bead embroidery. Eleanor fell into the world of bead embroidery after she created a bead embroidered portrait of Barack Obama for a moveon.org contest and was one of the 50 finalist. Her piece was published, and was given a Congressional Award for “keeping hope alive through art”. This has propelled her to move forward with her work. Another piece is part of a permanent exhibition with NOAA the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in St. Petersburg, FL. She will discuss her personal relationship with beads - how creating order using beads is a therapeutic experience which all beaders have realized ~ she had just kicked it up a notch which her presentation will expansively show all who attend the meeting. Eleanor is trying to create the impossible. As a self taught artist, she is always pushing the boundaries in her artistic process.
