THE ARTIST
I am a treasure hunter, an alchemist, a steward of forsaken objects, images, and moments. I employ two of my favorite mediums — photography and jewelry design — to capture, transform, and preserve these scavenged artifacts.
Once treasured mementos tossed aside, well-crafted utilitarian objects now deemed obsolete, beautiful old buildings turned derelict — these are the orphans that call to me, I am drawn to them with a curiosity and reverence. I recognize their forlorn beauty and am compelled to offer them a home and a new beginning for a select few in the form of a personal adornment or fine art photograph.
Invoking methods and materials both traditional and alternative, ancient and modern, presents disparate elements in a new context that's symbolic, intriguing, and pleasing to the eye. Mine is a small line of limited edition and one-of-a-kind pieces representing a slightly eclectic concept and aesthetic.
Sacred Curiosities is a conduit for exhibiting my creations, once reserved only for myself and a small circle of others, to a broader audience. I create works when I am inspired and present them without an agenda.
The best way to stay current with me, my latest projects, and news is to subscribe to my blog's e-mailed updates, and follow me on my Facebook Page. If you use a feed reader then you may also add my blog's feed to your subscriptions.
Thank you for visiting, I appreciate your interest and patronage.
