Fine leather knitted, oxidized sterling silver
Captivated by the tactile, utilitarian qualities of the basket and other historically significant manifestations from the fiber arts, artist, Brooke Marks-Swanson seeks to interpret that purpose through her contemporary works of adornment.
Here, she knits a leather laden masterpiece to comfortably wear around the neck. Its soft, smooth surfaces are palpable to the touch as they are an array of delight to behold. From the thicket of purple, to rustic umber, hues gracefully join hands to silken white and cerulean blue. Astream of yellow purveys the core of this stitchedterrain.Skillfully, Swanson progresses the piece to apool of white to then bedistinguished next todeep eggplant. A compelling, complex texture to adornits surface, sheplaces undulated, darkened silver discs to lay at the bottom of the work. Light as a feather, the piece comes on and off with an easy tug of the magnetic clasp. A peaceful drape upon the body, the work remains a feast for the eye. Quite a dynamic and abstract beauty to discover and ever a treasure to wear.
