Paul Adie | Artist Talk
In the Gallery at Brooklyn Metal Works
Please join us in welcoming Paul Adie, Munich based jewelry artist, visiting the US in support of Put a Ring on It, opening April 16 at Jewelers’ Werk Galerie.
I’m an artist working in the field of jewellery and objects
The main force in my work is my personal relationship with taboos and morals
I work against conventions which were layered on top of my thinking, from my own familial space, education and society. These include sexual, ethical, moral thresholds, and those based on social class and how one looks, acts and speaks
I refer to the history of the crafted object, but incorporate stories from contemporary society and include humour as a tool of humanisation, to build community and poke fun subversively at established power structures
