In Solace, Jessica Calderwood explores the use of drapery in wrapping and obscuring the body. The juxtaposition of forms—the crumpled enamel “cloth” on the smooth yet visually textured base—demonstrates the versatility of enamels. The colored stripes were made by melting glass beads into the surface of the enamel. A close look reveals a tiny hole at the center of some of the beads.
