These earrings are wearable, sculptural line drawings. 

Grey Von Cannon is a multimedia artist based in Charlottesville, VA. Having earned a BFA in Metalsmithing and Painting from Appalachian State University, Grey works to combine her love of both mediums in her daily practice. Her paintings are full of color, texture and emotion. Drawing inspiration from her abstract figure paintings, Grey makes bright, sculptural forms that engage with the body intimately. She forms copper foil around steel wire with her hands, allowing the material to guide her. She then coats copper foil with enamel which fuse together to create captivating textures and colors.
