Gifts of Art presents Pearls, Chains & Silhouettes: Handmade, Industrial & Digital Jewelry
Ashley Buchanan
Drawing on common jewelry motifs and iconic imagery, Ashley Buchanan individually hand-cuts silhouettes from sheet metal using a traditional jeweler’s saw. She then applies color using an industrial process called powder coating. In select pieces, Buchanan incorporates digitally scanned photographs made into buttons that she prong sets onto pieces in the form of gemstones. By combining the handmade with the industrial and the digital, Buchanan pushes the boundaries of jewelry, producing pieces with a fresh voice that speaks to the past, present and future of craft while maintaining the seductive quality of jewelry.
