STATE-OF-THE-ART

NEW JEWELRY BY

Mia Hebib, Judith Hoyt, Dallae Kang, Randy J. Long, John McVeigh, Biba Schutz, Natasha Wozniak, Liaung Chung Yen

May 8 – June 19, 2009

Our May exhibition will be highlighting work from goldsmith Liaung Chung Yen. He considers his jewelry “small expressions of art, desire, wit, and sensuality”. We are also showcasing a collection of pendants and brooches from opposite ends of the visual spectrum. Indiana University Metals professor, Randy Long fabricates hers in silver and enamel, whereas New York artist Judith Hoyt’s figurative works are constructed with, bruised and battered recycled metal. New to Taboo, the jewelry of Mia Hebib of Oblik Atelier embodies a fluid, feminine, simplicity. John McVeigh’s one of a kind designs take inspiration from the natural world, and are hand fabricated in gold and silver incorporating fossils and stones. Natasha Wozniak’s work returns to Taboo with flourishes and spirals reminiscent of Asian Art. Artists Dallae Kang and Biba Schutz both create tactile jewelry, working with wire and sheet to create sculptural forms.

We will also be featuring elegant eveningwear handbags by jeweler, Stephanie Schroder.

OPENING RECEPTION Friday, May 8th 6-8pm

The show runs through June 19. Please join us for the opportunity to view a stunning collection of handmade jewelry by this group of amazing artists.
