“The deep parts of my life pour onward, as if the river shores were opening out. I feel closer to what language can’t reach. With my senses, as with birds, I climb into the windy heaven...in the ponds broken off from the sky... ”
Goldsmith Mark Fenn curated "Tales from the Toolbox" , a showcase for narrative work, on view at crafhaus.
This is a holiday gift for a very talented metalsmith. Among many other things, she forges the sterling silver knife blades for her flatware on a handmade wooden stand for her steel block, so I depict her doing this very thing, activated by a flower bud pull-string.
The premise for the show at the Guilford Art Center in Guilford, CT, Soulcology in Metals, is: how do the artist's personal emotions and psychology influence their work, in what ways do you see a transformation? Two of my pieces will be a part of this show.
