A comprehensive documentation of a special conceptual position in artistic jewellery, this is Margit Hart's first autobiography that unites her jewellery with the abstract photographic works for the first time.

Austrian jewellery artist Margit Hart has created an ex-tremely diverse oeuvre in contemporary jewellery over the past twenty-five years. Mindscapes - the name of the book now available as well as of the latest group of works - stands synonymous of her constantly changing jewellery objects at the same time.

Since 2009 Margit Hart has been extending her artistic creativity, parallel to jewellery, into the fi eld of abstract photography too, with the two areas situated in a dialogue with each other. The artist also demonstrates this to us very impressively in her book: The individual series of artistic jewellery works alternate with expansive illustrations of the seemingly almost black-and-white, atmospheric photographic works.

In both artistic areas, Margit Hart demonstrates a profound examination of surface and line. In creative play she unfolds the most obstinate shapes: now tender and delicate, now geometrically clear, now futuristically amorphous - they seem to originate from another sphere.

Leaving behind the purely objective illustration, Margit Hart creates imaginary visual spaces, promising worlds composed out of light and shadow, into which she now immerses us.
