Batia Wang

Textile, Fashion & Jewerly Design

“I create volumetric bodies and treat their surfaces. My material is 18 carat gold or 24 carat pure gold, and design for me is a language that has evolved over the years, a language whose rules cannot be formulated verbally. In my work, the object/jewel emerges from the material and into the idea".

She cofounded the Jewelry Design Department at Shenkar College of Engineering, Design and Art and is now a senior lecturer there.
