Silver & Copper Forged Earrings

2026

"These earrings come from my "plant like" series of jewels using forged fine silver, copper, and sometimes 22k with sterling wires.

Looking back at the 20th century modernists but with a 21st century flair."

1.75" x 1.75" x 0.25" on wires

About the Artist

"I consider myself a three dimensional animator. My goal is to use the finest material both new and old to create functional and non-functional curiosities. I look to the work of old drawing from the Arts and Crafts movement, Folk Art, Modernism and the beginnings of the American Studio Movement and its contemporaries all around the globe. The finished pieces look as though they may be old but are curiously 21st Century. I search in unobvious places for materials such as antler, recycled copper (including existing patina), scraps of various woods (exotic and not so), plus anything else in which I notice a certain "richness" - to include in my work. Recycled materials are more or less a constant. I also use traditional, commercially available materials such as sterling, fine silver, copper, brass, bronze, and high carat gold, among others."
