The dramatic, contemporary Neural Resonance Neckpiece from Bette Barnett is etched in an intricate neuron-inspired pattern, fragmented into irregular triangular forms and reassembled with brass rivets. Selected surfaces are fused with gold-toned brass, creating a striking contrast between dark, textured steel and luminous metallic areas. Steel ball bearings fused with bronze highlight the bottom triangle, serving as a focal point for the unique piece. A bespoke, freeform wire chain, also fused with gold-toned brass, introduces an open, fluid counterpoint to the contemporary composition. Measuring 32 inches long and 3.0" wide, this exceptionally bold statement piece combines an imposing visual presence with surprisingly lightweight construction. An inventive clasp “coverall” closure fastens securely with a brass rivet connector.
