Maia Leppo is inspired by botanical elements, abstracted, and simplified to their most basic shape. Her preferred materials are silicone cord, steel tubing, and wire in neutral color choices like black, white, and terracotta. The resulting work is an exploration of the intersection between the botanical and the industrial. Having the work be wearable is a primary goal, but she says "I also want to push that idea and play on the balance between overwhelming and attracting the viewer." The Black Dash Drop earrings are made of steel and porcelain with sterling silver posts. Dimensions: 2.5" length, 1.5" width
