Gemstone Fish Sculptures- at Sara Schneidman Gallery, Culpeper, VA!
A background in metalwork and jewelry design is the inspiration for my hanging sculptures. I think of them as oversized jewelry compositions that hang. Like earrings for giants. To be hung in a house, near a window is good, but I like them better against the plain background of a blank wall, from a ceiling hook or a plant hanger. Then you can see up close all the treasures inside these fish. From chopsticks to bone picks from Kenya, to rusty washers I pick up along the road, (where do they all come from?) to the gemstones inside- turquoise, freshwater pearls, amethyst, prisms, and Swarovski crystals, these fish swim in the air, sparkling and waiting for someone to take a closer look.
