Her craft focuses on a practice of creating jewelry that hybridizes painting and metalsmithing. Using the technical skills of a metalsmith and the material exploration of multiple craft fields, she creates adornment that suggests the gesture of linework and brushstroke in 2D media. \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"il\"\u003eMeg\u003c\/span\u003e seeks to challenge the idea that jewelry is not typically seen as a fine art while using the materials of a fine art practice to construct her wearables. She allows one practice to fuel the other by balancing her time between her easel and her jeweler’s bench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/megwachs\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"https:\/\/www.megwachs.com\/\"}' data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":276668,\"5\":{\"1\":[{\"1\":2,\"2\":0,\"5\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0}},{\"1\":0,\"2\":0,\"3\":3},{\"1\":1,\"2\":0,\"4\":1}]},\"6\":{\"1\":[{\"1\":2,\"2\":0,\"5\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0}},{\"1\":0,\"2\":0,\"3\":3},{\"1\":1,\"2\":0,\"4\":1}]},\"7\":{\"1\":[{\"1\":2,\"2\":0,\"5\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0}},{\"1\":0,\"2\":0,\"3\":3},{\"1\":1,\"2\":0,\"4\":1}]},\"8\":{\"1\":[{\"1\":2,\"2\":0,\"5\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0}},{\"1\":0,\"2\":0,\"3\":3},{\"1\":1,\"2\":0,\"4\":1}]},\"10\":2,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"\\\"Book Antiqua\\\"\",\"16\":11,\"21\":1}' data-sheets-hyperlink=\"https:\/\/www.megwachs.com\/\" data-sheets-hyperlinkruns='{\"1\":0,\"2\":\"https:\/\/www.megwachs.com\/\"}'\u003eInstagram: @megwachs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"https:\/\/www.megwachs.com\/\"}' data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":276668,\"5\":{\"1\":[{\"1\":2,\"2\":0,\"5\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0}},{\"1\":0,\"2\":0,\"3\":3},{\"1\":1,\"2\":0,\"4\":1}]},\"6\":{\"1\":[{\"1\":2,\"2\":0,\"5\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0}},{\"1\":0,\"2\":0,\"3\":3},{\"1\":1,\"2\":0,\"4\":1}]},\"7\":{\"1\":[{\"1\":2,\"2\":0,\"5\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0}},{\"1\":0,\"2\":0,\"3\":3},{\"1\":1,\"2\":0,\"4\":1}]},\"8\":{\"1\":[{\"1\":2,\"2\":0,\"5\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0}},{\"1\":0,\"2\":0,\"3\":3},{\"1\":1,\"2\":0,\"4\":1}]},\"10\":2,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"\\\"Book Antiqua\\\"\",\"16\":11,\"21\":1}' data-sheets-hyperlink=\"https:\/\/www.megwachs.com\/\" data-sheets-hyperlinkruns='{\"1\":0,\"2\":\"https:\/\/www.megwachs.com\/\"}'\u003e\u003ca class=\"in-cell-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.megwachs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca class=\"in-cell-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.megwachs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.megwachs.com\/\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/shopashergallery.com\/collections\/meg-wachs.oembed","provider":"Asher: Off the Wall at Houston Center for Contemporary Craft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
