Natalie Abrams spent the first decade of her artistic-life gaining acclaim nationally as a sculptor. She was awarded various coveted residencies and her works are included in the collections of prominent patrons across the country. Ms Abrams’ mastery of liquid mediums helped her concoct a formula of acrylic paint which would appear as droplets frozen in time dripping down lines of filament. Although the filaments were developed for a new phase of installations, friends had other ideas. They began “borrowing” the colorful, skin soft, supple lines to tie around their wrists as jewelry. Thus began AW | MW. Our future must be inked in bold fonts and broad strokes. Each AW | MW (formerly Abrams Wearable) piece is designed to celebrate the magic of the individual as a work of art. The natural motion and fluidity of acrylic paint. The flash and dynamic of crystal clear matrixes. As a collection, it strives to recognize and empower the wearer, incorporating them into an ever-expanding work of living sculpture. Their jewelry act merely as reminders that the wearer themselves are the art. “Tu es l’art”.
