"Parallel World" - Where Does the Parallel World Exist?
The Japanese jewellery artist Mari Ishikawa delves into this question in her work.
The jewellery of Ishikawa is mysterious and transports us to another world.
She uses plants as symbols of the constant renewal of life and transforms them from the ephemeral into the permanent.
Mari Ishikawa uses silver casts from nature as a basis for her jewellery. With this technique, she is able to emulate the textures of lichens, leaves, flowers and a combination of other materials which have their own history, she creates a new and completely different world: the parallel world.
When viewing her moonlight or black and white photographs of nature, one can see a poetic connection to her jewellery. Their images stir up stories and memories, requiring us to take pause and consider our natural environment.

The exhibition includes jewellery and photographs from the artist spanning the period from 1999 to today. This work clearly shows that beauty surrounds us in the seemingly banal. It invites us to accept the invitation to look more closely during our next walk outdoors, because only then will we become aware of the natural beauty and richness of our environment.
For a brief moment, Mari Ishikawa interrupts the flow of transience; a precious object is created that has been wrenched from the cycle of life and death to stand for itself and for the moment.
Mari Ishikawa lives and works in Munich.
