As I cleaned out my closets to order my space and mind, I found a series of prints that I made when I was in college. I decided to use them as backdrops for my most recent earrings. The result is a collage of two worlds: the aspiring artist I was back in 2003, and the full time jeweler I am now; the hard forged metal, against the soft warm paper; my love for the nuances of graphic art, and my physical need to build sculptural forms. It feels good to be integrated.
I've been taking time off to focus and re-connect with myself. Lately, I can only be surrounded with people for so long before I begin to feel diluted. When that happens, I draw, I write, I inch my way back to my workbench, and I slowly find my own voice.
