Forge & Finish is venturing out from our usual jewelry line and progressing into a limited lifestyle collection of sculptural objects.
Back in the spring/summer, we planted new gardens; we embraced nature & the outdoors—rediscovering green spaces in our nearby Wissahickon Valley whose beauty we often took for granted. All the while, returning to our sanctuaries—pondering at home & nesting in place. As craft artists, we longed for ways to nourish our hunger to create. At times this was challenging to cultivate outside of our normal creative space. We clung to home projects for repose. We purged through clutter to see more clearly what was important to us. We sifted through cherished belongings that contained a love story or a fond memory. Those objects which influenced who we are, where we’ve been, and what we make. Naturally, it became necessary to manifest the impact of our physical, emotional, & spiritual journeys. What were we learning, lacking, desiring? How were we adapting and growing? What lines & shapes were forming as we coped through mundane daily routines, enduring new roles & responsibilities, pandemic restrictions, anxious minds overwhelmed by grief and life loss, our fragile futures being drained of resources. We turned inward for peace, we prayed to keep our minds strong, we exercised to keep our bodies limber, we leaned on beauty that we could create with our hands—our livelihood.
The transition from jewelry toward sculptural objects is not as far-fetched as it might look. The material and tools remained familiar. We shifted from the wearable aspect of jewelry—allowing less restriction to our forms, expanding the sensual and sensory relationship to the material, and magnifying corners of our imagination. It was freeing to let go and we hope you enjoy what you see. From our home to yours...
