Pod Cage Necklace $250 Ruth Zelanski grew up on a small farm in Connecticut in a family full of artists. After receiving her BFA in photography in 1997, she began exploring her concepts through jewelry-making techniques. An advocate for the small and forgotten, the displaced and discarded, she finds the act of adorning oneself with these objects to be empowering. Each component of the natural world is beautiful, from molecules passing through the walls of cells to toxic mold, from single-celled organisms to deadly viruses. In this piece Ruth mixes knit wool, metal, glass beading and leather. |
