There is something magical in the idea of found art transferring an unexpected object into a reinterpretation of itself. One of our clients, Mary Donald, performs this magic on her jewelry. We were introduced to her work and method when starting on her website awhile back. Anything from found metal, to rubber, to plastic is transformed into beautiful jewelry. Actually these amazing pieces are more like fine art sculptures you can wear. Not only is the work beautiful but she redefines the structure of what you would commonly think of as a ring or necklace. Would you believe that the piece above isn't an abstract flower sculpture but a comfortable ring? Yep, it slides in between your fingers with the blue pieces on top and the metal petals on the underside of your fingers all held in place with a plastic cord. And below, another magical example of tire rubber transforming into an edgy black bracelet. Amazing.
