Well... I really felt as though the universe was saving the best for last in meeting the wonderful Caroline Volovci of Objet rare Atelier and Galerie.
Object rare to me has an underground feel and encourages close inspection and dialogue . well suited to the Monika Bruggers Fly aria show these works may have been small and delicate but still packed a little punch!
this gallery is a vibrant and working studio which is small in size but big in welcome and warmth. Caroline hosts curated exhibits and represents glorious work from both french and European artists. the Gallery life affords Caroline autonomy and freedom and a platform to support art jewellery in Paris. It is not long before we discover to our great surprise the Jeweller is a French, New Zealander and having trained in Dunedin under Georg Beer and Kobi Bosshard is also a keen follower of NZ contemporary jewellery and the handshake project. Hugs and laughter all round! Carolines shows us her hollow form rings which are beautiful and poetic in their simplicity.
It was a great pleasure to meeting you Caroline and a perfect way to wind up my travels in Europe
