A shape suggested by one artist becomes an idea for another. A motif or a color sparks new questions; a piece opens up a new direction. With\u00a0Le Voyage Amical<\/em>, an adventure initiated by Marianne Anselin during Parcours Bijoux 2023, four contemporary jewelry artists build a collaboration around this interplay of ideas. Each contributes words, images, shapes, or research in progress that the others can draw on to develop their own jewelry.<\/p>\n

Creative Exchanges Around the Herbarium<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In 2023, Marianne Anselin, Caroline Volcovici, Julie Usel and Claire Wolfstirn explored the mysterious strategies living organisms use to sustain life and survive. Seeds offer an initial avenue for exploration: as they disperse, some cling to animals\u2019 fur or people\u2019s clothing, while others are carried by the wind. For Parcours Bijoux 2026, two more artists join the adventure: Isabelle Hertzeisen, and Lucia Vogt. Their research centers on the herbarium, an album in which plants are preserved for observation and study.<\/em> The artists continue to exchange ideas remotely, following the rhythms of their studio work and walks. Isabelle Hertzeisen transforms the outlines of pressed leaves and flowers into the large, sculptural links of her Herbier<\/em> necklace. Julie Usel creates her Boutons d\u2019or, flattened, hammered flowers. Marianne Anselin continues her exploration of natural forms made from mechanical objects: screws flattened at the forge, then notched with a saw, become black flower earrings. A wing nut becomes a pendant. Lucia Vogt\u2019s multicolored brooches introduce other forms that evoke chewing gum.<\/p>\n

Echoes in Plant Architecture<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As the exchanges continue, Marianne Anselin recalls a completely burned forest where tiny green shoots were emerging. This leads to her Vitalit\u00e9 ring, made of wrought iron and punctuated with vivid green enamel accents. Isabelle Hertzeisen picks up on these colors in her Herbier<\/em> necklace. Inspired by a fig tree suffering from drought, Claire Wolfstirn envisions the\u00a0La vie \u00e0 Coup S\u00fbr<\/em>\u00a0brooch, a rose made of copper and iron, as well as her\u00a0Parenchyme<\/em>\u00a0pendants in blued steel\u2014the name refers to the areas between the leaf veins. With her\u00a0Nervus folie\u00a0bracelet, Marianne Anselin takes the opposite approach, focusing on the veins left behind in decomposing leaves. She imprints their patterns onto copper. The two artists\u2019 explorations echo each other, drawing attention to different parts of the same plant structure.<\/p>\n

The exhibition\u00a0Le Voyage Amical\u00a0<\/em>echoes another exhibition at Parcours Bijoux 2026:\u00a0A Pool in the Ocean<\/em>, organized by The Pool ~ Amsterdam Jewelry Collective. Each member was invited to collaborate with two others, taking inspiration from the structure of H\u2082O.\u00a0Le Voyage Amical<\/em>\u00a0is far from over. See you at the next stops along the way.<\/p>\n
