Vinaigrette by Megan McGuinn
Jewelry and furniture designer
Title: Vinaigrette
Dims: ½”x ½” x ½”
Material: sterling silver and 14K yellow gold
VESSEL features Megan McGuinn, a multi-disciplinary artist whose eponymous jewelry collection draws inspiration from architectural ornament, materiality, mechanical connections, and imaginary worlds. Irresistibly drawn to the miniature, she renders artifacts at a scale that invites a closer look. Each piece is crafted at her bench overlooking a postage-stamp-sized garden, cats by her side—a sort of modern St. Jerome in the Study tableau.
Her work shows a devotion to the mark of the hand, but doesn’t eschew the possibilities presented by modern technology. Trained as an architect, Megan practiced in the city before leaving the field to pursue furniture and jewelry. Along with her partner, she is also one half of Medium Small, a furniture and lighting studio.
“A vessel for memories, evoked by the most sentimental of the senses—scent. Positioned within the long tradition of aromatic jewels, this vessel serves as a phenomenological tool of protection, remembrance, and imagination.”
Collector pickups in San Francisco can be scheduled at no additional cost.
Los Angeles drop off can be arranged, additional fee may be requested.
Shipping or alternate delivery locations will be coordinated between collector and artist.
