Melissa Broek

As the Lillstreet 2024-24 Metalsmithing & Jewelry Department Artist-in-Residence, Melissa Broek explores the balance between growth and decay in nature, transforming raw materials into intricate jewelry. Her inspiration is based on cell structure and microscopic landscapes – an alchemy of the organic and the crafted. Melissa is captivated by the tension between industrial and organic elements, crafting adornments that echo the essence of an abandoned railroad station slowly reclaimed by nature.
