Burnished Light illuminates the transformative power of fire and metal through contemporary enamel jewelry. Each piece captures the moment where heat coaxes color into brilliance — glowing gradients, molten edges, and metallic luster frozen in time. From soft, smoke-washed hues to radiant, mirror-bright surfaces, the collection invites viewers to experience light as texture, as heat, as memory.
This exhibition, hosted at the Enamelists Gallery in Studio 28 at the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Old Town Alexandria, runs from November 1 through November 30. It showcases wearable artworks that shift with motion and spark curiosity, revealing intricately layered craftsmanship beneath their polished shine. Burnished Light is a celebration of resilience and radiance — where flame shapes beauty, and light becomes something you can hold.
