Rings, rings and more rings. All I've been looking at for weeks are rings. Thousands of rings flash past my laptop screen a day. But I'm not tired of looking at rings yet. I have always loved rings and figure that I always will. The hands that create become the hands that are adorned.

Ring #315

For the past two weeks I have been curating rings for the May Exhibition with my fellow jurors, but today I wanted to take a moment to look at the rings that have created since we began our search.

Seeing all these rings makes me wonder why I have always loved rings. Rings are personal--imbued with sentiment, emotion and memory. I am not as attached to my earrings or bracelets. Necklaces come close, but rings are my weakness. I don't wear many rings, but the three I wear are very special. Two I have made and are the only pieces that I keep for myself and the other is my wedding band commissioned from a local jeweler.

Shapes draw me in and tell me a story of emotion, beauty and order. Sometimes I have a difficult time speaking about my work. Visual language is not always easily translated into verbal language. Shapes reference memories that are deep and submerged.

I do enjoy these "peeks" a lot ! Thanks.
The work is still exciting and the ideas still fresh after 300 days. Nice selection here!
Thank you for the update. I only wished I could attend the actual exhibition!
Thanks for posting this Sara! I'm not very good with words but rings are very special for me too, as symbols of unity and infinity.
