“In my work I enjoy looking backward and forward in time. I am challenged to research and to modify ancient jewelry-making techniques from the Hellenistic period, from the Etruscans, from Korea, and Japan.” Artist quoted in “‘Living Treasure’ Master Metalworker Exhibits Jewelry, Holloware and Sculpture,” 2000
In Transposed Inlays Neckpiece the artist successfully combines disparate elements of color, texture, and material. The piece juxtaposes turquoise, gold, bronze, and silver and incorporates the Japanese method for creating mokume gane, or “wood texture metal.”
