Artwork Description
Didi Suydam sees the body as a “field” for placing jewelry, and explores relationships of form and space through her three-dimensional, wearable sculpture. She attempts to bridge past and present in her jewelry by producing contemporary pieces based on ancient motifs. The simple, monumental form of this piece reflects the artist’s fascination with Egyptian, Roman, and medieval cultures.
