Heather Guidero [2002, Jewelry/Metalsmithing]
Heather Guidero Jewelry is based on a series of simple geometric shapes inspired by elements of modernist design. Heather’s interest lies in using line to render drawings three dimensionally to explore volume, movement, and pattern. She uses ethically sourced gemstones and recycled sterling silver and gold that are accented with her custom textures and patinas to provide a greater contrast between materials and to accentuate the graphic nature of the designs. Each piece is constructed and finished by hand in her Providence studio, where she works side by side with two assistants.
