I’ve created a medal, the order of the dragon, to award to my brother-in-law for bravery, skill, and daring shown as he drove the narrow, rock-walled roads of western Ireland where steel dragons (tour buses) prowled. Thank you, John!
Hi! Thanks for the comment on my blog! Yes, that dog tag garment is amazing and so powerful. As obvious as it is, it does not actually overpower the room. The other work holds its own and adds to the atmospheric sense created in the space. I could have stayed there all day. Anselm Kiefer's piece totally blew me away too. Susan Keep blogging. It sort of works like an extension of Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way. There's something subtle and fulfilling in using the Internet as a creative tool.
I come to studio art and craft from graphic design. To balance my computer-based career, I stepped back into art first with drawing. I drew the classical subject of the body, striving to capture beauty and strength embodied.
The artist and designer merged when I began to create shadow boxes. These works unleashed my propensity to collect feathers, rocks, and whatnots; and my love of wood, tools, and metal workings. In my boxes I juxtapose found and created elements and explores “burrs," kernels of truth, perception, and unsettling beauty.
My love of metal and tools and workings now has me completely entangled in jewelry. My pieces are well-crafted, inventive, and dedicated to repurposing and recycling found elements.
