Judith Eveline Haas (born c. 1975) is a Dutch-born jewelry designer and artist based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York City. She works in metals and is known for hand-fabricated jewelry and abstract paintings on patinated sheet metal.[1]
Early life and family
[edit]Haas was born in the Netherlands and holds a master's degree in movement sciences from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. She moved to New York around 2000 and later trained in jewelry-making at the Fashion Institute of Technology, establishing her own studio in the early 2000s.[2] She is a great-granddaughter of the German-Jewish writer Else Dormitzer, a Theresienstadt survivor, and of the German ceramicist and painter Hermann Haas.[3][4]
Career
[edit]Early jewelry by Haas combined silver and bronze settings with semi-precious stones. From the 2010s onward Haas's work shifted toward patinated brass and copper and two-dimensional artworks on sheet metal.[1]
Haas describes her practice as a visual dialogue between geometries of urban infrastructure and organic textures of corrosion, drawing on early twentieth-century European abstract modernism to reframe the contemporary city as a rewilding ecosystem.[5]
Her work is carried by US and European galleries[6][7][8] Her pieces have featured in editorial coverage by American, [9][10] European,[11] and Japanese[12][13] magazines.
