Time warp

Well time does fly. Progress in motion, as i write. The spring and summer have brought new developments and opportunities to the forefront, which is positive. I have expanded my sphere to include selling my jewels at the craft connection in Nelson, BC. The experience has been encouraging and helpful in giving me just the right amount of pressure to keep me on the path. I find my work evolving with each new step and hour of time i devote to it. Wax on, wax off, a wise man once said. Repetition leads to deeper understanding of the process, as well as a more refined practice. The more i take my work seriously (in a good and balanced way) the more others respond to it. I still find it challenging settling on a production line, and instead am drawn to exploring new avenues, with a common thread. Shell still holds fascination for me and i continue to follow that inspiration. As i go into the dark season, i aspire to transform my resistance into willingness to cultivate the challenges that come with it.

Perpetual evolution

It's is often about what is implied, not necessarily literal. That is the evolution. The contrast of the organic and inorganic materials complimenting each other. The supposed completion of a line to it's seemingly proper place. It allows for the viewer, or wearer to complete the thought themselves. I always say in response to a comment of what someone sees in the work, that it is subject to perspective. The work does not end with my interpretation, it begins there. I remain intrigued by the continuation of growth in the observers eye, allowing it to be whatever you see. Which also may change from time to time, as our perspective often does.

The beginning

Well, step one to exposure. It's time to get seen. So heres the first blip on the radar. Starting with some silver and shell pieces conceived of first while traveling in New Zealand in feb 2008. They are ever evolving, as am I. Inspiration from coral, lava, and molten metal, appearing to almost just melt over the shell. Aiming to cover as little shell as possible while keeping it harnessed with in its matrix, and held together with silver rivets.
