Aleksandra Vali
Sheila Beatty
Liaung-Chung Yen
When she came to the US, Aleksandra was introduced to metal as a medium and it was with metal that she found her passion. Her favorite techniques are carving, casting, riveting, oxidizing, etching, and metal smithing. The variety of techniques allow her to combine silver and gold with different materials, such as coral, pearls, textile, and lava, bringing an endless source of inspiration.
Fine ribbons of silver or gold are shaped by hand according to that design, and placed on fine silver. The compartments thus formed are filled with thin layers of vitreous enamel glass ground into powders in vibrant colors. The application and firing of many thin layers of enamel permits the subtle blending of colors and creates great clarity in the enamel.
Yen’s work is an exploration of sculpture form in jewelry by using geometric shapes and architectural structures. His inspiration comes from the structure of nature, plants, rocks and minerals, landscape, and architecture. + Or provide your own artist
