Wall Piece

Sterling silver, fine silver, copper, enamel

5 in. x 2 in.

Abigayle moves through everyday with curiosity and inspection, appreciating the peripheric atmosphere; but engaging with the ether. Opening both eyes into a world that is untouched and ironically deceiving, like the adaptive survival traits of creatures in the mesopelagic zone of the deep sea. Influencing the ways Abi uses biomimicry to portray each abstraction of nature to make jewelry feel alive, moving, and free. Appealing to traditional techniques like Plique-a-Jour enameling and hand fabrication; igniting her passion for exploration and further her understanding of more technical approaches. Modulating the hand we make with, and the
technology that aids human adaptation.
