Velvet da Vinci is proud to present two August/September exhibitions, Jo Pond: Intimate and CoOperation Garnish. Both shows will run from August 19 through September 20, 2015. A joint opening artists' reception will take place on Friday August 21 from 6-8pm. UK based artist Jo Pond creates jewelry pieces that can be likened to reincarnated objects, relics of everyday urban life that have been transformed by the artist’s process. Material elements such as buttons, coins, cans, and keys are modified and reinterpreted, simultaneously creating new narratives for each piece while drawing from each object’s industrial and sociological heritage. CoOperation Garnish is a traveling group exhibition organized by Brigitte Martin and Rachel Timmins. The show features collaborative works by 22 artist teams, which consider the material and historical past of metal/jewelry/object making.
