“Beate Eismann has been experimenting for more than three years with new jewellery designs and ideas. In doing so, she is going beyond the borders of conventional jewellery design. It is her aim to investigate and tackle the question whether or not the opportunities of digital shaping and forming processes as well as manufacturing methods offer her enough space to freely work according to her own perceptions …
In her latest works, a group of bracelets, Beate Eismann pursued the implementation of synthetic materials and new surface structures and textures. All of them were three-dimensionally designed on the computer. Then they were “materialized” through rapid prototyping procedures, and later completed in lengthy manual processing. In these relatively large objects, the artist can find complete expression of her computer-supported plastic freedom of shaping that she has acquired in the meantime, and she may proceed with her spatial investigations…
Furthermore, Beate Eismann intended to break through rapid prototyping technique-related aesthetic expectations and to achieve material effects which cannot be easily categorized.”
