Crossing the line. (art jewelry, Emmy van Leersum, Art (964 words) |
 | After some tentative explorations in color (colored paper inside PVC, paint on steel), van Leersum blossomed in her late work, before she died of cancer at the age of 54, into brilliant primaries achieved by means of marker pens or by working with pigmented strips of stiff nylon. |
| In all van Leersum's jewelry, the clarity of form, the brisk rationality of the lines she preferred, and the pure colors reminiscent of De Stijl add up to a refractory statement. |
| The absolutes of her art are balanced by the irregularities of the body; she necessarily took it into consideration as the site, the context for her art (and her transparent or translucent bracelets allow the body to participate in the appearance of the jewelry in an interesting way). |
