Jennifer Trask



"Resonating with the cycle of life, Jennifer Trask's jewelry marries anthropology with metals to achieve a startlingly elegant Victorian harvest of rings, necklaces, bracelets and brooches. Inspired by things of the earth, Trask includes pigment, beetle shells and feathers as fodder to be encased under glass and backed with sterling silver or gold. Recently, she has expanded on the pigment theme with her use of sand from around the world, or simply rust from household steel wool. The piece becomes like a locket that reveals rather than conceals, and is inscribed on the back with the origin of the species or the scientific name of the object within." - Gallery Fifty
