"Town & Country: Jewelry from the Natural and Synthetic Worlds"

The SCAD exhibitions department presents "Town & Country: Jewelry from the Natural and Synthetic Worlds" featuring pieces from the renowned gallery of international contemporary art jewelry, Ornamentum. Presenting artists from the U.S., The Netherlands, Sweden, Japan and Vietnam, this exhibition explores the ways in which today's jewelry artists translate a breadth of materials, both organic and synthetic, into unique interpretations of their surroundings. These avant-garde works range from the wearable to the conceptual and are inspired by both natural and urban environments. Artists include: Sara Borgegard, Sam Tho Duong, Iris Eichenberg, Jantje Fleischhut, Caroline Gore, Jiro Kamata, Katja Prins and Ted Noten. Presented as part of the 2012 SCAD Style program. Exhibition and reception are free and open to the public. For more information, visit scadexhibitions.com.
