Basing much of her work on iconic references, Alissia Melka-Teichroew tends to turn the world on its side just a little bit...all the time. A good example is Melka-Teichroew’s diamond ring, which plays with perceptions of classic jewelry by being entirely made of acrylic and keeping only the characteristic shape of a gem. She has also cleverly used broken teacup handles as inspiration for nylon wall hooks. Fond of playing with materials, tweaking the basic properties of familiar objects, and re-presenting them to us anew, Melka-Teichroew repeatedly makes us smile. She relates, “I’m trying to give my point of view, but I want people to have room to do anything they want; wear the Ring A Day or hang it on the wall!” Melka-Teichroew has also been expanding her line of jewelry--bubbly necklaces, bracelets, and rings (think pop beads from Mardis Gras, only better)--for spring.
