Robert Lee Morris Verdigris Avalon Belt / Necklace, 1983
About the Item
Robert Lee Morris Verdigris Avalon Belt/Necklace made in 1983. This design was part of a bigger collection that was entitled Avalon, and inspired by the book by Marian Bradley Zimmer, "The Mists of Avalon". This is a fabulous book that inspired Morris greatly and every piece in the collection was named after a character in the book. The story King Arthur, Guinevere, Merlin and the shift from a matriarchal to patriarchal system, the myth of Avalon the mystical isle in western England where these historical tales were based. This piece is brass, and is totally covered with the copper oxide which creates the permanent finish of green verdigris. The shapes and forms were all part of the vocabulary used to make this collection and were bold easy to read graphic shapes suitable for the runway or fashion magazine shots.
