Signs of Life by Claire Kahn

Santa Fe artist Claire Kahn will introduce a new selection of works in her ninth solo exhibition at Patina Gallery. This year, Kahn’s signature works, unique adornment in bead crochet, will reflect a collection inspired by the birthstones through the year.
Known as an artist who continually uses design sensibility to arrange her works of adornment, Kahn brings her knowledge to exhilarating life. With careful attention to pattern and progression, she strings a mosaic made of cylindrical Japanese seed beads from which she conceptualizes (and crochets) a palpable expression to wear on the body.
