New York based jeweller, Erica Weiner creates unusual jewellery which often conjures up images of antique entomology cabinets stuffed with wonders - just perfect for our annual online exhibition The Menagerie; works inspired by the natural world.
Erica creates delicate and wearable sculptures using the ‘remnants of life’, such as a 65-million-year-old fossil of a Nautilus shell which is cast inside and out in silver, the minuscule pelvis of a mouse, the vertebrae of a small snake to, my favourite, the unbelievably tiny bronze skull of a hummingbird.
Erica's cabinet can be found The Menagerie exhibition.
