Object Details
- Artist
- Ivy Ross, born Yonkers, NY 1955
- Luce Center Label
- Ivy Ross views jewelry as "art with a function." These two pieces illustrate her innovative use of tantalum, a space-age metal. Ross first treated the metal with electricity to reveal a spectrum of colors, then wove strips of metal to resemble fabric.
