Speak

"Art without emotion is like chocolate cake without sugar. It makes you gag. The next time you work on your trees, don't think about trees. Think about love, or hate, or joy, or pain- whatever makes you feel something, makes your palms sweat, or your toes curl. Focus on that feeling. When people don't express themselves, they die on piece at a time." -Speak

Precious Metals


This is the simplest metal piece I have ever done, and that is why it is one of favorites. I used to try to cram as much as could into the past metal pieces I have done mainly because it was fun to use all the different tools. But from the slides shown to us in class I realized some of the most beautiful pieces were the most simplistic, and that's what I chose to focus on. It was also a simple change which I thought gave this piece much more depth. originally I wanted the center piece to lay under the bronze frame, but that wasn't just simple; it was simply boring. So I started trying to move this around a bit and ended up putting part of the center piece over the frame. Not only did this make it seem more interesting but it also seemed to make the center appear as if floating which made me smile :)
