MICHAL LANDO

BROOKLYN, NY

Michal Lando is a jewelry artist living in Brooklyn, New York, who makes work out of nylon mesh and resin. Her work has been selected for exhibitions across the country including Materials Hard + Soft exhibition at the Denton Arts Center in Denton, TX, Kaleidoscope exhibition at Reinstein/Ross in New York City, and Touchy Feely at the Baltimore Jewelry Center. Her work is included in Artistry in Fiber, Vol. 3 Wearable Art, published by Schiffer Publishing. Her work can be found at galleries and museum stores across the country

My latest work uses manipulated photographs to explore ways of seeing, and to play on the idea of material. The original material, nylon mesh, a 3-dimensional material which has formed the basis of my work for many years, gets abstracted through the camera lens, and further abstracted through computer manipulations. The camera, which we typically think of as reproducing reality, is used instead to create almost painterly images that are hard to identify.
