MARKE MEYER BRONZE SCULPTURE

A Piece of poetry - It's Art but you can wear it!

Pendants, Ear-rings, Chokers & Paper Weight

A Marke Meyer limited edition - 'wearable & usable sculpture'

Marke Meyer uses sculpture to create his own unique, quirky concoction of 'visual poetry'
This is a memory-trace of the ideas that germinate in his wakeful dreams and materialize in the ultimate artwork.
Marke has pioneered the use of suspension to best display his works and to create the feeling of lightness whimsy and freedom. He loves that these stainless steel pendants will hang from a hook or from around your neck.

These pendants, ear-rings, choker & paper weight are taken from the journey of specific bronze pieces.

See below for the original bronze artworks.

All pieces are lightly etched with Marke's signature.
They are presented in a black, Perspex box with an explanation card.
