Artists often keep things around for a long time with the knowledge that one day it will be just the thing they need. That’s what happened with a sheet of green anodized aluminum with fold-form ridges I made for a wall sculpture about six years ago but didn’t use. Now it’s five pairs of earrings, two pendants and a necklace. Available exclusively at Alberta Street Gallery.
