Necklace: The ermines of the South Seas by Bruna Hauert.South Sea pearls on untamed fellows’ plush, yarn. 2011.Photo by: Bruna HauertUnique piece.
. On April 5th 1769, the Endeavour anchored in Matavai Bay in Tahiti under the command of Captain James Cook. In the excitement of it all, a small group of white ship rats sneaked on land unnoticed and quickly felt at home on this fertile island. Their countless offspring soon after crowned many a chieftain’s noble head and later went down in history as the ermines of the South Seas.

Necklace: The Ringer by Bruna Hauert.Silver 925, silicone.. 2009.Photo by: Bruna Hauert.
. The Ringer likes to adorn itself with borrowed rings. Furthermore the Ringer is the finger that has been missing but is now constantly present. It presents rings that have no room or do not receive the deserved attention on one’s own fingers as well as rings that simply do not fit. Made for the thematic exhibition multiplay – variations in jewelry..

Necklace: The Betty Bossi Idea by Bruna Hauert.Gold, silver, yarn, wood of a cherry tree.. 2007.Photo by: Bruna Hauert.Awarded with the special prize of the jury, at the thematic exhibition Fiction.
.
. The Betty Bossi idea for the Central Park Zoo, New York
. My name is Maier, Dottie Maier. For the theme FICTION I’am bringing the Swiss fictional character Betty Bossi to New York, where I currently live. By using her label I wanted to create jewelry feed for the animals of the Central Park Zoo. Luckily enough, I was able to enthuse Dan Wharton, Central Park Zoo’s director, with my idea. I know Dan as a member of my Kärcher-Club KCNY, which I founded some years ago. Our last (legal!) mission was the kärchering of the elephant Besamemucho. Elephants love high-pressure cleaners!! (We have also kärchered parked cars on 13th street and the New York Opera). Anyway, a gay penguin couple called Silo & Roy live at Dan’s zoo. After a long battle for their own offspring, the zoo psychiatrist finally gave them their own egg and they are now bringing up their charming child Tango. They are all being pampered with the Betty Bossi idea. And so are the six meter long anaconda Houdini and the fruit bat Lindbergh. More will follow. My best friend Bruna Hauert, who lives in Zürich, says that considering the fact that I, Dottie Maier, do not exist, I am creating quite a fuss. Despite our friendship, I do not think it is any of her business..

Necklace: Annabelle S. 1987 Uetliberg Zurich by Bruna Hauert.Gold, yarn.. 2006.Photo by: Bruna Hauert.From series: Annabelle S..
. Annabelle S. has a surprising encounter with Mister F. while jogging…

Necklace: Annabelle S. 2006 Haiti by Bruna Hauert.Wood, gold, textile, paint.. 2006.Photo by: Bruna Hauert.From series: Annabelle S..Contrary to her grandmother Frieda S.’ advice, Annabelle does not seek help from an esteemed psychiatrist in Zurich, but looks for salvation in Haiti, from the voodoo priestess Mama Marie: No hay mal que por bien no venga (every cloud has a silver lining).

Necklace: Frida S.on the topic of psychosis and neurosis – or – my innermost is brilliant! by Bruna Hauert.Frieda S. doll: Textile with filling of 99 diamonds.
. Chain: 18ct yellow gold, dyed slices of polyurethane shitty women.. 2006.Photo by: Bruna Hauert.
. Frieda S. is the realization of my research on the social role of women during the belle époque. From corsets to female hysteria and penis envy I naturally stumble across Sigmund Freud. The quotes on the necklace are from Frieda S. therapy sittings with Sigmund F. Although the patient Frieda S. comes at a price, it is a pittance compared to her inner value and the cost of a serious psychotherapy with a good analyst.
. Overheard quotes from the therapy sittings with Sigmund F.:
. -Sometimes my jewel case is also a cigar box…
. -Well, at least my unconscious mind is much more moral than you think!
. -I always say shitty woman instead of witty showman.
. -Oh Doctor, I think the couch is on fire!
. -Well, what do you mean by “hysterical”? I simply don’t have much else to laugh about.
. -My innermost is brilliant!
. -Did you say something?.

Piece: Dwarf of luck with a seal of approval by Bruna Hauert.Silver.. 1995.Photo by: Bruna Hauert.
. Dwarfs bring good luck – this has been an open secret to insiders for a long time. Yet scarcely anybody is aware of the adventurous trials a dwarf must endure, before he can become a dwarf of luck. The last and definitely most challenging of them all is the flounder test: On a full moon the daredevil dwarfs death defiantly (yet in full possession of their mental strength) hurl themselves onto the tracks of the Zurich tramway. Courageously looking danger directly in the eye, they allow themselves to be run over by a blue tram.
. Compressed and concentrated to such an extent, luck is now eternally preserved within them.
. This dwarf’s name is Harry and he passed his exam with flying colors. He is part of the quality class A1 – one of the highest levels of commendation a dwarf of luck can ever reach. .

Bio

Jewelry Designer Founder and owner of Friends of Carlotta, Gallery for Contemporary Jewelry, Zurich.

Statement

Jewelry is communication. I love to embed jewelry in stories because jewelry and text inspire each other so that something becomes a small universe. My earlier work as a cabaret artist has shaped me, and even as a jewelry designer I have not lost the desire to communicate. Today, however, my jewelry is on stage and maintain a dialogue with friends and strangers. And if I get cheeky, it can get under the Zurich tram and get the finishing touch. In 1990 I founded Friends of Carlotta. What was originally intended as a label for my own jewelry quickly became established as a label for exhibitions with several jewelry designers. In 1995 I opened the Friends of Carlotta jewelry gallery in the old town of Zurich. Today Friends of Carlotta is one of the leading galleries for contemporary jewelry design and, with changing exhibitions and the work of more than 80 represented jewelry designers from all over the world, conveys a lustful cross-section of current jewelry creation.
