Mora is pleased to announce Kate Cusack as the featured jeweler
in its Spotlight Series for the month of October. On Friday, October 6th from 5:00-8:00pm, Mora is hosting an opening
reception for the exhibition. The event is free, and all are invited to attend.
"Kate
Cusack creates awe-inspiring wearable art from a single and very surprising
material—the zipper. Dispensing entirely with the zipper’s function to
concentrate solely on its form, Cusack makes magic from this modest material. Sometimes
she leaves the textile intact, layering and manipulating the zippers into
dynamic new dimensions. Trimming off the textile and setting the zipper teeth
on end creates a finer line for Cusack to multiply and weave into compelling
compositions. Her mastery of the material is evident both in her ingenious
structures and her expert craftsmanship—meticulously well-made jewelry that is truly
couture. Cusack’s elegant zipper jewelry is a striking reminder of the power of
imagination and the joy of discovering beauty in something we encounter every
day." - Marthe Le Van, owner of Mora Jewelry
