Clouds + Ladders x Ruth Asawa for the de Young Museum​

 

Ruth Asawa Museum Retrospective Earrings Necklace Brooch Jewelry Garden Shimmer Sculptures SFMOMA MOMA NYC Artist

The DeYoung Museum Stores invited noted craft artisans representing each of the nine Bay Area counties to create exclusive offerings inspired by the de Young Museum’s collection, architecture, or landscape to accompany their exhibit "Open Call 2023," a biennial exhibit of art by contemporary Bay Area Artists.

​

 

Ruth Asawa’s hanging sculptures in the DeYoung's Education Tower were my inspiration for the collection I created.

 

While at first I was drawn to the artistry of the gravity-defying shapes of Asawa’s work, after reading about her I discovered she possessed an admirable human spirit as well.

My thanks to the de Young Museum for inviting me to represent Sonoma County for the 2023 Open Call Exhibition. The opportunity to create a collection of jewelry inspired by Ruth Asawa’s work is an honor and dream come true for me.

This collection is sold out. Sign up for emails to receive notifications of more exciting upcoming collaborations!
