See, Touch  Harriete Estel Berman, "Yellow & Orange UPC Identity BEAD Necklace" Two wearably lovely exhibitions are opening this weekend at the Museum of Contemporary Craft. Framing: The Art of Jewelry explores the distance created between the viewer and the object when jewelry is presented to the public as an art object, and how this distance can be played with to bend the art/adornment relationship. Framing: The Art of Jewelry • January 19 - May 11 Museum of Contemporary Craft • 724 NW Davis St. • 503.223.2654  Mindy Herrin, "Abstracted Fruit necklace" The second exhibition, Touching Warms the Art, uses the medium of jewelry to obscure that distance. The jurors of this show asked artists to "put aside preciousness," focusing instead on creating work that engages the viewer physically and mentally and invites touch and delight.
