Exhibition - Kate Cusack, Margaux Lange, Sissi Westerberg Jewelry

There's a new exhibition at Facèré Jewelry Art Gallery

called "ABeCeDarian."  It runs from May 18

through June 4 and is described as a "contemporary

jewelry art exhibition and ABC book

featuring the work of twenty-six artists,

each producing a piece that

corresponds with a letter of the alphabet."

OK, sounds interesting.

The participant list is comprised of: Julia Barello,

Ken Bova, Jana Brevick, Kathy Buszkiewicz,

 Melissa Calohan, Nancy Mēgan Corwin, Kate Cusack,

 Donna D'Aquino,  Laurie Hall, Tom Hill, Trudee Hill,

 Melissa Huff,  Margaux Lange, Kristin Lora,

Bruce Metcalf, Marcia Meyers, Ted Noten,

Kait Rhoads, ROY, Cindy Sumner,

Anthony Tammaro, Carolyn Tillie, Cynthia Toops,

Kiwon Wang, Sarah Wauzynski, and Sissi Westerberg.

Let's take a look at just a few of the 

delightful one-of-a-kind

jewelry included in this exhibition.

Here we have Sissi Westerberg's piece using the

letter 'D' for Drip.  This imaginative item is called

"Something Inside" and is made of acrylic. Some

ideas are so simple yet so elegant.

We love the eye-popping color;

it may be monochromatic but it certainly

 makes a statement.

Then we have Margaux Lange illustrating the

letter 'K' for Knees.

Many art jewelry followers are familiar

with work by this artist.

Whimsical and nostalgic her designs incorporate

salvaged Barbie doll parts, and the jewelry she has

provided for this exhibition

is no exception. Her piece is 

called "Cross-legged Brooch."

Lastly, let's look at a piece offered by Kate Cusack 

using the letter 'Z' for Zippers.  This spectacular

necklace is called "Elizabeth."

With roots in costume design and

a flair for the theatrical,

it's easy to classify every one of her pieces

as a production - an amazing

visual spectacle. Every time we see her

work it's always lavish and luxurious.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

There are so many other

beautiful pieces of jewelry

on display.
Plus, the opportunity to get the
ABC book that accompanies
this exhibit.

Enjoy!
