Today In Fashion-Art Collabos: Dope Rope

January 29, 2009 10:39 am

Despite the dainty reputation of her medium, artist Orly Genger’s hand-knit sculptures are as gob-smackingly monumental and physically intense as those crafted in steel or marble. But even shrunk down to wearable, tightly coiled, elegant cords, Genger’s work retains its strength. The limited-edition range of knitted necklaces that she and jewelry designer Jaclyn Mayer collaborated on in conjunction with Genger’s show Whole at the Indianapolis Museum of Art ascend the heights of style with chunky chokers of bright nylon climbing rope, some twisted up with delicate silver and gold chains. “I’ve always been worried that making jewelry would take away from the seriousness of my work,” Genger confesses. “I have a tendency to impose all these rules on my work and myself. It’s a great feeling when I break them.” The necklaces range from $150 to $210 and are available at www.jaclynmayer.com, at the Larissa Goldston Gallery in New York, and at Genger’s show in Indiana, which runs until June 14.
