Midge's Mind

Out of the Box: Trends in Contemporary Jewelry opens at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art January 25th, 2013 and on view through April 28, 2013. I'm truly honored to be a part of such a wonderful exhibition! Other amazing artists in the exhibition include: Arthur Hash, Emiko Oye, Rachel Rader, Lauren Kalman, Rachel Timmins, Joe Churchman and Jennifer Crupi. 

From the vMOCA website: "MOCA will explore and celebrate the emerging trends that are taking place in contemporary jewelry. As artists move away from traditional jewelry making materials, boundaries are crossed and whole new categories are evolving. As patrons move through this exhibition, they won’t have to ask whether it is sculpture, installation or jewelry. The answer will be yes to all of the above."

The three brooches above are a part of my new 'Plume' series and will be included in the exhibition along with a couple of older pieces (my 14 Giggles Bracelet and Busted Heart Pendant.)
