Each piece is crafted by hand in her Brooklyn studio mixing traditional metals with textile techniques. MPR experiments with classic, quotidian materials like industrial ball chain, electrical wire, and safety pins to reinterpret them and combine them with fine metals and semi-precious stones to create industrial jewelry that still retains a femininity and fineness. The resulting collections are about creating a new everyday uniform and appreciating those moments to play dress up.
Meghan Patrice Riley’s collection is on display at the Stravitz Sculpture and Fine Art Gallery.
