Randi Chervitz Uncommon Threads Jewelry
|
|
|
Jewelry Crocheted Sterling and Fine Silver, 24K Vermeil, 14K or 18K Gold, Pearls
Randi has been making jewelry since 1987. She began exploring forms in metal at Parsons School of Design, New York City, as part of her studies there. From Parsons, Chervitz transferred to Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, the “Harvard” of metalsmithing, to study with internationally-known jeweler, Richard Mawdsley. Since graduating in 1991 with a Cum Laude double major in Metal and Fiber, Chervitz has been hard at work keeping her artwork at the center of her life. In 1991, she began selling her work; jewelry pieces that explore fiber techniques in metal. Her influences include couture fashion; its history, expressiveness, and relationship to everyday life. Also important to Randi are the transformationof the role of women in the past fifty years, and the emergence of the self as one grows through life.
“I first picked up my grandmother’s crochet hook while taking a metal-smithing class in college. My grandmother had taught me to knit when I was a child, and I always had good feelings about the individual stitches that make up a larger whole; a fabric. Immediately, crochetingsilver and gold to make wearable objects became my signature. It’s been many years since that epiphany. As I progress artistically, I find myself using my technique to explore formal concepts such as line quality, pattern, composition, and form. And to honor my history - all of our history - I still find it exciting to transform the very fabric of our lives into something precious through metal.” - Randi Chervitz
