Fiber artist Summer Moore has created a collection of hand-woven jewelry called LESH. The statement-making pieces showcase the beauty of textiles by combing chunky ropes, intricate weavings, and colorful fringe into wearable art.
Summer’s work was initially inspired by, she writes, of “antique Andean textiles throughout the Sacred Valley of Peru.” She later completed an artist residency in Ibrahimpaşa, a small village in Turkey. There, she “immersed herself in weaving complex fiber jewelry and experimenting with hand-dyed materials.” The experience informed what LESH is today.
LESH has many pieces now available online, and you can follow Summer’s work in progress on Instagram.
