Does touching jewelry transform the viewer and creates a better understanding of the “concepts inherent in pieces of art jewelry?” This is the question asked at Portland’s Museum of Contemporary Craft in an exhibit they call, “Touching Warms the Heart.”
We discovered how fun and fascinating this interactive collection of hand made object were when we visited recently. Odd combinations of a hair curler neckless, plastic grapes, and balloons filled with sand were just a few of the dozens of fun, artistic, and useful objects we tried on.
Just like in dress up, we could stand in front of a camera (this one being an iMac) and photograph ourselves for posterity.
If you haven’t been, it is a great experience for friends, young and old. We saw an aunt with her preteen niece hamming it up. So do stop by. Exhibit ends March 23, 2008.
