Midsummer Morning architectural-series Dangling from tapered black stems

Dangling from tapered black stems are intricate architectural “tent” forms constructed from pierced and soldered sterling silver

Each earring is fabricated by soldering six separate pieces of silver together

Snow dusted trees form sculptural shapes in wintertime

such as this Greyhound dog

but the modeling of facial expression and the delightful complexity and subtlety of the whole speaks to deep insight

Midsummer Morning architectural-series Dangling from tapered black stemsSOLD Midsummer Morning is an original etching by Jo Barry. Wildflowers bloom in a grassy meadow. Like many of Barrys etchings, this work was inspired by the New Forest in England, which was once a royal hunting ground for William the Conquerer. Her labor intensive etchings, which sometimes take up to six months to complete, often feature pastoral scenes of flowers and animals.
