REVIEW
Dorothea Prühl at CODA Museum
by Astrid Ubbink
Prühl's jewelry is famous for its sculptural qualities and abstract representation of animal or floral forms. She mostly works with gold, steel, aluminum, titanium, and wood, from which she creates elements that she composes together into necklaces, sometimes brooches or earrings. The various elements in her necklaces represent the same things: frogs, fishes, birds, or swans, always elements inspired by nature.
