Friends in Chelsea
One of the fun things about openings is coming across your friends and acquaintances while wandering around the city. Catching up and swapping notes on which are the good shows that shouldn’t be missed.
Patrizia Iacino was just such a Monkdogz friend whom we met at Maya Lin’s exhibit at Pace Wildenstein on 22nd Street. Patricia is a jewelry designer originally from Italy but now based in New York. She creates hand crafted jewelry using what most of us would call trash such as milk bottle and beer caps or rubber bands and merges them pearls and precious metals and stones to create unique works of art.
She was modeling her work tonight, including her plastic bottle bottom star earrings, rubber band ring and plastic bottle bracelets. Her skill in creating beauty by recycling trash is a form of beauty in itself.
Who did you meet on the streets this week?
