Abstract / Description of output
I made a set of new enamel and laser cut Star Badge brooches in bright yellow for this International Touring exhibition. The pieces were inspired by Sheriff badges from Westerns.
The Enamel Research Centre at University of the West of England had been invited by Juergen Boenig, curator at the Museum der Arbeit, in Hamburg, Germany, UWE and a group of internationally established artists.Twenty-three artists were invited from Germany, United Kingdom and the USA.
"The Museum der Arbeit acquired and installed an Enamel Badge Factory - Metallwarenfabrik Carl Wild - which was in production between 1901 and 1989, now part of the Museum's Everyday Life in the Industrial Age. This small firm was behind the facade of a residential house in the Hohenfelde district of Hamburg where, for over ninety years, Carl Wild's Metallwarenfabrik produced badges, medals and brooches of all kinds. Discovered by fortunate coincidence, this small company is typical of a number of moderately sized manufacturing firms hidden in Hamburg's industrialization. A specially built room within the museum houses the partially reconstructed workroom, allowing the visitor to see through glass screens insights into working routines, social relations, strains and hazards of this small enterprise. There is an extensive collection of the badges, medals and brooches produced by this small firm. To give a starting point for this exhibition, the artists were sent photographs of various categories of badges from the museum collection: military, commercial, aid/charities, and societies etc, as initial sources of inspiration. Each artist was asked to create a group of 3 - 9 badges that are inspired by, and relate to, this enamel badge collection. " (UWE website)
