Time, Desire, & Revival Jewels
Today we explore the gap in time between historical events and the present. Between then and now is a gap that creates desire and longing for contact. Creative attempts to close that gap produced a series of \u201crevivalist\u201d movements in the nineteenth century. Through our current exhibition \u201cIdeal Jewels\u201d we discuss the rise of art jewelry, the Pre-Raphaelites, and how revival iconography connects with the present day. What did St. Augustine and Aristotle think about time? What materials did revival jewelers use to research their designs? How can we connect the Victorian era with the medieval period?
