This project was completed in the Spring of 2020 in a collaboration with artist Judith Berk King. I fell in love with Judith’s work from the moment I first saw it, and her piece entitled “Imposter” is one of my absolute favorites. I reached out to Judith to ask if I could recreate this piece in metal and was thrilled for her to say yes!

Watch the video below to see how this piece came to life. The finished pendant is oxidized sterling silver and brass with obsidian eyes:
