Harmony: Stories in Structural Pattern and Whimsical Design – an exhibit by jewelry designer Teresa Jardines and paper sculptor Kelly Laurienti
Arts in the Village Gallery announces the April Featured Artists exhibit, Harmony: Stories in Structural Pattern and Whimsical Design, a visual exploration of elaborate designs, both structured and fluid. The exhibit features the fine silver jewelry of Teresa Jardines, and the dimensional paper wall sculptures of Kelly Laurienti.
Inspired by nature, people and every day moments, Teresa Jardines combines organic elements with fantastical industrial steampunk components – exposed mechanics, kinetic parts – to capture a sense of wonder, excitement and adventure that typifies her view of the world. Teresa’s Fine Silver (99.9) jewelry is handcrafted using precious metal clay and a variety of natural gemstones in pendants, bracelets, and earrings.
Driven by her love of architecture, design and geometry, Kelly Laurienti aims for bold designs that demand attention and create an elaborate harmony of pattern and form. Through the use of angular paper elements on canvas, Kelly’s work highlights the relationship between light, shadow, pattern, and repetition to build a sense of time and space — a dynamic and powerful statement.
Please join the artists at a reception on April 23rd 5-8pm and enjoy fine hors d’oeuvres and wine pairings, and harp music by Rachel Allen of Capitol Strings.
