 his exhibition is the work of three artists:  Kat Ely's sculpture captures
  the essence of the artifact and the environment from which it was found. 
 She uses the permanence of glass and metal to juxtapose the temporal quali
 ty of these objects. Each piece is a reliquary\, in which she attempts to 
 illustrate the sacredness of the natural world by housing\, protecting and
  showcasing the things most people ignore and overlook. Kat is the 2011 re
 cipient of the NICHE Award currently Working and Living in Boston Massachu
 setts.  Leah Meleski is a Contemporary Jewelry Artist aiming to create obj
 ects that synthesize nature directly onto the body. She is preoccupied wit
 h ideas of how one's body can form the jewelry rather than using a general
  structure for everyone.  One's body contour is an integral way to incorpo
 rate perceptions from nature: She can alter and integrate ideas about impe
 rmanence\, permanence\, growth\, decay and preservation. Leah Creates her 
 Jewelry in her home studio located in Jamaica plain and Works as an Art te
 acher in the Wellesley school system.  Monique Rancourt is a Contemporary 
 Jewelry Artist Creating wearable sculpture that is inspired by historical 
 references specifically traditional body adornment of the pacific Islands 
 and Africa. Keeping these traditions in Mind Monique Pushes the limits of 
 Traditional metalsmithing and Jewelry techniques exploring Form\, Pattern\
 , and texture from nature. Monique Currently spends much of her time parti
 cipating in fine Craft Fairs across the country creating works and teachin
 g in her studio at the Washington Street Art Center in Somerville\, Mass. 
    The Washington Street Art Center houses Gallery 321\, hosts studio spac
 e for more that twenty visual artists\, and presents exhibitions\, concert
 s\, film series and other art initiatives. The center participates in Some
 rville Open Studios each May and an annual open studios in December.  The
