I was honored to experience and photograph the work of jeweler Iris Eichenberg. She is well known for her bold, organic forms and melding of diverse materials including copper, silver, leather, Bakelite, wood, tweed and brass. She has that no nonsense earthy quality similar to the Mid-Century Modernists, where form follows simplicity, democratic design and natural shapes.
The left image shows the work of Iris Eichenberg displayed on the far wall while the right image is a detail of a necklace. Thank you Gallery Ornamentum for bringing the work of Iris Echenberg to Chicago!
