LUKE TOWNE
INFORMATION
Luke has always been interested in materials and their processes. He approaches jewelry with attention to the inherent qualities of silver: its malleability in form, and its ability to shift tone from satin white into shadowy oxidation. He fabricates sheet metal and wire into a variety of forms- some take shape intuitively, while others hone in on their complexity and structure. Within these pieces, he attempts to leave space for light to pass through subtle openings, refract from surfaces textured with grainy distortion, or be absorbed within hollow depths. All the while, he works with a desire to see how these objects become animate on our bodies.
Luke’s studio features an ever-expanding showcase of his handcrafted earrings, pendants, rings, hand-woven and soldered chains, and a selection of one-of-a-kind pieces. Visit him in-person here.
