Knitted, Knotted, Twisted & Twined

The jewelry of Mary Lee Hu is almost certainly unlike any you’ve seen before. By using wire the way hand weavers use thread, Hu’s innovative work (encompassing 40 years) spins praying mantises and whorled, oceanic forms from one of the seemingly daintiest of materials. Metalsmithing and textile techniques inform her use of the wire’s lines. This showing features more than 90 earrings, rings, brooches and neckpieces drawn from international public and private collections.
