David
Urso's highly sophisticated resin and sterling silver jewelry is a visual feast
of color, form and surface. The work is characterized by sensual organic
shapes and a painterly use of hand tinted resins, which are applied in
solids and patterns.
His signature collection is created by experimenting with natural herbs and spices such as poppy seed, expresso and dill. He uses the dried minced plants as pigment, sometimes combining them with pastels, and mixing them directly into clear resin. The resulting color range is vibrant, earthy and beautifully textured.
Recently, crushed turquoise and Birch wood chips have been added to the inlay. This new collection integrates the use of Native American and Mexican jewelry influences into his own contemporary designs.
As always... each piece is entirely handmade in his studio in Ulster County, NY.
