Boris Bally, "Ovary Act."

About the Artist
Boris Bally is a Swiss-trained goldsmith working as a contemporary metalsmith and designer in Providence, Rhode Island, where he maintains his studio business, Bally Humanufactured.  Bally’s work is a disciplined body of objects which vary from eccentric through formal to humorous, provoking thought and reflecting on some of the distortions of our ordered world. Over four decades, his practice has become an amalgam of the skills of an able industrial designer, a gifted craftsperson, a discriminating sculptor and a cultural critic.  For years, he has been organizing major art exhibitions facilitating political activism to end gun violence.
