Boris Bally's award-winning work is both witty and innovative employing the use of jeweler's skills on non-precious materials. The Urban Enamel work transforms selected recycled street sign materials into joyful objects for reflection. These pieces celebrate raw American street-aesthetic in the form of useful objects for the home. Pieces are distinctive as signage is collected for its bold imagery and weathered patina.

This is a Live Event Item.
