Jewelry & Objects

Slice is a collection of jewelry expressing Paul McClure’s fascination with the microscopic realm of the human body. Abstract forms refer to bacteria, viruses, cells, and their structures within us. The forms are “digitally handmade” using a combination of computer modeling and 3D printing technologies with the traditional metalworking techniques of forming, fabricating, and finishing. Slicing through these forms reveals surprising and pleasing sections and patterns. However, the slice, like a microbe itself, exposes tensions between the benevolent and the sinister, the beautiful and the ugly, the fascinating and the fearsome.
