creator_notes:
|
"Landscape continues to have a subtle influence on my work. This stems from my childhood on a farm in Illinois where the horizon line was always visible, and the texture and color of the land constantly changed with the plantings and seasons. As snow covered the land, only the essence of form remained. I attempt a similar approach to design, rejecting the extraneous and using materials sparingly to create shardlike brooches which feature the beauty of natural stones and crystals. The quartz stones with their linear inclusions of gold-colored rutile or black tourmaline are reminiscent of blades of grass and stems projecting through ice on a frozen pond. By contrast, the dynamics of the jet black stones - jasper, jade, petrified palm - evoke the earth and other elements of the land. Each piece evolves from the energy and intrinsic beauty of the stone and intuition."
