Nodes Collection Is Expanding!
The summer for me has started in earnest!
Before I get into that, I just want to let you know that some of my sculptures titled, Synaptic Incubations Of Another Kind, are being exhibited until August 2018, at the Morris Art Center, in New Jersey! If you are in the area, I hope you will drop by. It’s an awesome group show!
In April, I also participated in an exhibit of my collage work at the Blackburn Printing Workshop in New York where I had the pleasure of speaking about my work with several curators about how my artworks and jewelry designs are all inter-related. I got some great feedback and realized that I wanted to incorporate more painting sensibilities in my jewelry designs too.
And so I began my line of Node Art Earrings, a collection of earrings that are as painterly as they are sculptural! I started by mixing acrylic paint and used the plexiglas cubes as a surface and a structure onto which I could create miniature art works that are not only featherlight, but offer the multiple views found in the Nodes Collection at large.
Working on the Node Art Earrings is such a pleasure! I use the same process I use in my larger paintings; I experiment with materials, welcomed accidents and iterate several series of jewelry pieces that are light, colorful and ethereal!
My goal with the Node Art Earrings is to play with the fluorescent colored surfaces of the plexiglas and see how the these surfaces change with the acrylic colored shapes I create. The designs of the earrings are abstract, minimal and multi-dimensional so that the Node earrings seem to breathe and move with the wearer.
Plans are in the works to incorporate similar sculptural and painting elements in my new Node rings and necklaces, so please spread the word and stay tuned as I try to post new designs on my website as they become available!
