SUZANNAH WAINHOUSE


“I’ve always been drawn to nature,” says Brooklyn-based painter and jewelry designer Suzannah Wainhouse. “The deep sea, the beautiful way the ocean rounds and smoothes shape—it’s really spectacular.” This love of oceania might seem counterintuitive for a girl raised in rural southern Vermont, but it has long been a defining factor of the nature goddess’s work, starting with the primal, beach-worn amulets and rough-hewn rings she introduced in the Spring of 2009. Her latest collection—a series of hand-molded brass and silver bracelets sculpted to resemble the raw, weathered remnants of the ocean floor—is no different. “I took the idea of forms buried at the bottom of the ocean and applied it as I sculpted and softened the pendants,” says the artist. “Sometimes, it’s a very difficult process because metal can be unforgiving—but it’s a wonderful challenge.”
