From Installation to Wearable Art
Created for Copper Point Resort, Lisa J. Levasseur’s new large-scale PaletteArt™ installation behind the reception desk transforms layers of 100% acrylic recycled paint into a richly textured composition of copper, bronze, charcoal and blue green.
Once the installation was completed, Levasseur carried its story into another form. Using the same left over dried acrylic paint remaining from the original artwork, she created a limited-edition collection of wearable PaletteArt™ jewellery including semi-precious jewels.
The jewellery is therefore more than a piece inspired by the installation, it is physically connected to it.
Fragments of the same acrylic paint have been reshaped into an original artwork that can be worn, preserving the colours, textures and history of its larger companion.
Together, the installation and jewellery demonstrate that a paintings’ story does not have to end when one artwork is complete. It can be recovered, reimagined, and carried forward.
