Body Language: Contemporary Art Jewelry at the Wayne Art Center in Wayne, PA

Curator Suzanne Ramljak, Editor of Metalsmith magazine, included my artwork in her exhibition Body Language: Contemporary Art Jewelry at the Wayne Art Center in Wayne, PA.
Curator’s Statement:
"While all jewelry is intended for our bodies, it can also be created about and of the body. The exhibition, “Body Language: Contemporary Art Jewelry,” explores the intimate link between object and wearer, and the ways that jewelry modifies and speaks of the body as subject, site, and matter. Among the works on view are pieces depicting anatomical parts; jewelry dealing with physiological processes and interior structures; full figures and silhouettes; and works made from bodily substances like hair or bone.
The selected works by twenty-seven contemporary jewelry artists in “Body Language” reveal the potent and telling interplay between the human physique and the objects we choose to attach to ourselves. Through such physical involvement, these jewelers provide insights into the human condition and the eloquence of our corporeal selves."
