Sydney
Lynch
Good
things come from Nebraska, like the linear aesthetic
of Sydney Lynch. Like notes on a scale, he vocabulary
of shapes and gemstones are connected to each other
with wires and links. She embraces texture both in the
tactile surface of her metal surface and juxtaposition
of colors and personalities of her gemstones. She likes
to mix dark patinated metal with 18kt yellow for an
effect of depth. Earrings, necklaces and bracelets from
