Art-to-Wear Jewelry . . . By Kariann Price
About Kariann
"I have a fascination for conveying life's images and beauty through the use of materials I find along the shoreline. My sculpture-to-wear is jewelry that is a free-form constellation of sea glass, sea pebbles, semi-precious wire & gems, sculpted stained glass, crystals and vintage objects. My pieces are identifiably eclectic art-to-wear.
In my sculptures, I combine nature's fallen gems, typically driftwood, with stained glass. These elements are abundant and, combined, open a portal for creative imagination & constructive innovation.
My aim is to uphold the aesthetic nature of art, while being innovative with the use of both recycled man-made & natural elements, and ultimately promote the appreciation of our inner recycling that is inherent to the human psyche. There is much potential in what was once discarded, both at our feet & within our hearts. I have found that the creative process cannot be separated from this kind of awareness and is a key element to enriching our lives. While our own histories inform us and lead us to challenges that make us more aware and responsible, so do nature’s remnants that lay at our feet.”
Fondly, Kariann Price
