In an attempt to place contemporary art jewelry within an ongoing mainstream American cultural phenomenon, this call for artist-made hoop style earrings will be held during the NCAA's March Madness, celebrating this millienia-old form of adornment and our favorite sport - GO ILLINI! The selected hoops will be exhibited in our Chicago showroom 3/31/22-5/15/22.
Lori Aks Jewelry’s Crinkled Hoops were selected for this event and will be on display at Gallery 2052 to see in person.
OPENING RECEPTION MARCH 31 4-8 PM GALLERY 2052 CHICAGO IL
CRINKLED HOOPS
These handmade hoops are made by squeezing the metal through a tube wringer and shaping the ear wires to fit into a loop. The result is a tweak on the usual hoop, giving it a bit of industrial sculpture. They are practically weightless on the ear yet will stand out as a unique everyday addition to your art jewelry collection.
