Petra Zimmermann, the subject of a solo exhibition the Museum of Applied Arts, Vienna earlier this year, shows new work in her second solo exhibition at Ornamentum Gallery. Necklaces combining two strands recognizable within Zimmermann’s oeuvre – the confrontation of historical materials- fragments of found antique costume jewelry pieces with imagery of the female form taken from mass media- exhibited together with recent examples of rings and bracelets… stand-alone wearable sculptures.
