Slide Bangle - Yellow Bronze
Yellow Bronze with Vergidris Patina
Noguchi’s Playground Series
This series is inspired by Isamu Noguchi’s playground work, in particular his 1986 sculpture, Slide Mantra. His lyrical sculpture functions as a slide with steps winding up the back which descend into a beautiful spiral. It truly embodies his belief that play can lead to a new appreciation of sculpture.
The Slide Bangle explores spiraling shells and lily spathe forms. The recess areas have a beautiful patina that varies from golden brown to green. I see jewelry as sculpture and this piece stands on its own when off the wrist. It is a bold and mysterious bangle that invites you to explore every angle.
