SILVER WORK
THIS IS WORK THAT I DID AT PRATT INSTITUTE (1993-1994) UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF AXEL SAND.
I LOVE WORKING WITH MY HANDS. THIS IS SOMETHING I MISS NOW THAT I WORK SO MUCH WITH THE COMPUTER. MY CHALLENGE IS TO FIND A REAL BALANCE.
THE DESIGNS ON THIS FIRST BRACELET WERE INSPIRED BY THE WORK OF ALEXANDER CALDER. MADE OF STERLING SILVER AND GOLD LEAF.
BRACELETS BELOW: ARE MIRRORS TO EACH OTHER. ONE HAS THE ROTATORY SQUARE TUBING ON THE OUTSIDE AND THE OTHER ONE HAS THEM ON THE INSIDE.
BOTH WITH FULL MOBILITY - ADDRESSING ISSUES OF EXPOSURE AND PRIVACY.
THESE EXAMPLES BELOW: ARE CASTS FROM HARD WAX CARVED DESIGNS AND FORGED NECKLACE, SOME HOLDSEMI PRECIOUS STONES.
LATER, I DEDICATED A LOT OF TIME TO WEAVING METAL.
AND TO THE PRODUCTION OF HAND MADE FINE SILVER CHAINS, FOLLOWING A VERY OLD AND BEAUTIFUL TECHNIQUE.
