This exhibition will mark the debut of Gore’s new series of wearable objects. This collection of new work will be accompanied by drawings and collide, a sculptural installation from the acclaimed exhibition, "…mercurial silence… ."

The jewelry in dual/duel is inspired by Gore’s newly adopted city of Philadelphia. “The jewelry presented in dual/duel is a visual manifestation of this relationship to site in energetic and physical ways. Temporary attachments to buildings under renovation or construction, clusters and piles of building materials, layers of decay and attempted repair, electrical wiring/conduit and signals such as cones and buoys littering the landscape have informed my drawing and form development.” 

At the heart of Gore’s work exists a tension or a “tug of war”, between materials and forms. Her visual language oscillates between what has been exposed and what remains unsaid, the hardness of jet and hematite and the softness of leather and suede.
