I find them minimal, powerful, and timeless. If I lived in a large house, I would decorate every wall with a different shield. If I was the curator for a modern art museum, that is what I would exhibit. Here are my pendant versions in sterling silver.
Alain-Michel Boyer once wrote that African tribal shields are objects of such magnificence and beauty that they quickly leave the war to become art on a wall. I find them minimal, powerful, and timeless. If I lived in a large house, I would decorate every wall with a different shield. If I was the curator for a modern art museum, that is what I would exhibit. Here are my pendant versions in sterling silver. The Shield necklaces are available here.

I am visiting my sister Vanessa in Austin. I love this town. The homes are surrounded my trees and lush gardens, there are trails along the river, great food, and lots to do outdoors. On Sunday, we went to Boggy Creek Farm to buy organic produce. I took several of my new pieces to photograph against the beautiful rustic settings and natural surroundings. These pieces are in my shop. I just finished reading The Signature of all Things, by Elizabeth Gilbert. It is a magnificent tale of a woman's quest for self-discovery through her love affair with botany. I was deeply moved by the protagonist's hunger for knowledge and understanding, and images from the story have started to appear in my work. My new series of signet rings are like botanical samples, or cuttings from the universe. A starry night, an orchid, a fiddlehead fern, a moth, a full moon and a rainbow. They all gather here, like stamps to seal a love letter. You can find the entire collection of signet rings here. |
