Jet Drawing: Pool

Jonathan Wahl American
2008
Not on view
Wahl trained in sculpture, drawing, and jewelry making. This drawing is from his series of charcoals based on late nineteenth-century Victorian mourning jewelry. Wahl is interested in scale and perception and how the viewer relates to "historical objects of jewelry when rendered larger than life." This opulent and sensual drawing combines both the conceptual ideas and the intellectual history of modern jewelry.
