Corners Necklace
This is a necklace. It was designed by Myra Mimlitsch-Gray. It is dated 2006 and we acquired it in 2022. Its medium is molten tin poured on commercial brass chain then silver-plated and oxidized. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
Mimlitsch-Gray spilled molten tin onto chain to allow random elements rather than goldsmith's practice to control the outcome. The deliberate use of plating, like applying makeup on the surface of the free form, is a transparent attempt to make precious what had been an accidental spill.
