Ordinary Life by Jana Machatova and Peter Machata

Artist list

Peter Machata, Jana Machatova

Inspired by the German-language women’s magazine Frauenfleiss from the year 1909, Jana Machatova tackles the subject of traditional female roles in the early twentieth century. Through the incorporation of narrative decorative elements, she creates brooches and pendants that tell stories of their own and evoke new associations.
The central theme of Peter Machata’s current art jewellery is: his hands. They tell stories of everyday life – what they touch, what they grasp, how they live, and what comes into being under their influence. These symbolic hands begin to live and become expressive when they are worn on the body. The artist uses a material he particularly loves – Corian – to create jewellery sculpture of great charm and fascination.
