To look through Mary Curtis work, she has done so many researched such as sought around many of European object and jewelry museums, and searched for the crafts, or thing. She even prepared and searching for ideas to make her creations. Overall she is organized and done a lot of collections for the reference.
First, I am festinated about her small object design, she refer to Robert Klippel’s work “Eighty-seven small polychromed tie sculptures,” which were the tiny and little sculptures, also with the colorful layout and the fine lines, no matter the internal or external, the whole construction looks elegant and nice. Therefore, the Klippel used so many materials to build up the structure, and the interesting thing is each object will have different shapes and outlines, also each thing have particular geometric figure. So she followed his style to make lots of small objects with golden color, and used different materials to create different kind of crafts.
Another work which I like is that she transferred Frances Hansen outline work into her jewelry design. She used one of her composition which had spiral and some circle shapes, then she make use of those circling shapes into her rings decorations, she perform with different surface works and particular shapes which I never seen before. I very interested about the way she used solder, bended around the wires became spiral shapes, it shows the elegant circular cone and inlayed on the rings.
Overall, Mary Curtis presented the great compositions and with some classical style, she also made the nice forms on each object works, and the brilliant out-lines no matter the external or internal, all of her works have distinctive features and looks unique.
