«  »Spectrum » is an exhibition focused on contemporary jewelry inspired by color featuring Sally Collins, Timothy McMahon, Amy Tavern, and Melissa Tolar. These artists utilize a wide variety of formats, processes and materials, but are connected through the importance of color in their work. Color has played a dominant role in the Fine Arts for many generations, from the specific hues of paintings to the bold use of color in modern and contemporary sculpture. Until recently, color played a secondary role within the field of jewelry, limited to the addition of gemstones, patinas or enamels. With the freedom to break out of the traditional metalsmithing techniques and processes, color has become a force to be reckoned with. «
