A couple of friends emailed me a link to this guys website and his work is absolutely amazing. I love love love it. David Clarke is a British artist whose work relates to the "entrenched traditions of silversmithing, often taking it to surprising extremes." He challenges ideas of historical silver and metalwork and creates completely unusable flatware that is beautiful and flawless. He is a newly discovered hero of mine:) These are all electro plated nickel silver and pewter.
I am a metalsmith, educator, wife, and mother, living the life of an ex-pat in Doha, Qatar. I moved to Doha from Arizona, where I had previously spent most of my life. I earned a Bachelors of fine art in metals in 2006, and a Masters of Fine Arts in Metals in 2010. I was the resident artist at the Mesa Art Center from 2010-2013, and an adjunct professor in metals at Central Arizona College. I am currently trying to balance navigating/living in a foreign country with being a mother and a practicing artist. My blog is a place for me to share my thoughts, experiences, successes and failures with you.
