OPENING EXHIBITION
       Art of Ornament: From Weaponry to Wearable Art is a group show that celebrates the beauty of handmade jewelry and sculptural metalwork. The exhibition includes a line of jewelry entitled, “Toolery”, resin castings of gun parts and “Marine Knives”, which reinvent functional objects and transform them into decorative works of art. Other pieces do the complete opposite–artists take jewelry which has a purpose of being decorative, and design them to function  as weapons. All works utilize ancient jewelry techniques to bring a modern aesthetic to ancient tools and wearable pieces like rings and necklaces.

Liloveve Gallery proudly presents this group show from October 28th through November 18th.
