In this issue, sensory connections ring loud and clear in Dr. Sofie Boons’s smell-based selections for LOOK and matt lambert’s feature on eyeglasses as art objects. At other times they are subdued, like in Masoumeh Rezaeilouyeh’s evocative image of swishing, beaded fringe in Fresh Off the Bench, or Mazzi Odu’s profile of self-described kinesthetic learner Fernanda Durmer. In some instances, the objects are imbued with subtle suggestions, such as the dance rattle inspired necklace and vinyl record earrings in RoseMary Diaz’s latest installment of Continuum of Indigenous Expression. In Ask Me Anything, Adam Atkinson’s delightfully hirsute, delicately chased and repousséd brooches and sinuously carved brush handles complement his warmth and sincerity in responses to reader’s questions. Brimming with synesthetic connectivity are Monica Valentine’s colorful, sequined sculptures in Jewelry Thinking and Veronika Mehlhart’s feature on Andrés Aizicovich, while Samantha De Tillio’s feature on cast iron cookery plays upon the closely linked senses of smell and taste.
The boundaries between internal and external and the semantic and sensorial are at the heart of Findings, where Liz Steiner raises questions about the function and aesthetics of AI Jewelry that claim to combat isolation. An exercise for mapping meaning-making in the creative process is shared by steven KP in the latest Voice & Vision. And the third and final installment of Rebecca Enderby’s query into the material ethics of diamonds, though seemingly a thematic outlier on the surface, to me highlights the topic’s unavoidable cognitive dissonance— which is its own kind of sensorial experience.
