Lithic Fragments : Sand, Stones, and Spirituality

Abstract

The work in this thesis exhibition is a reflection of my spiritual journey, a consecration of both the mundane and profound, and my search for transcendence. Repetitive action becomes meditation; each piece becomes a prayer. Fueled by a passion for the geologic sciences, these works combine actual stones and sediments with electroformed and enameled fabricated stones with textile techniques to create a series of neckpieces and an installation of brooches.
