Love This!

by Brock Davis

Michael Zobel



Michael Zobel and his goldsmith business partner, Peter Schmid, make dramatic, collectible works of art. Though famous for their cuff bracelets and brooches, they do it all. High-karat gold, platinum, palladium, and oxidized silver provide a backdrop for champagne diamonds, tumbled black diamonds, fascinating gemstones. This is rich, exotic, show-stopping jewelry.

Gordon Chandler


"In the 80's after years of doing constructions and hiding the "found objects" in my work, I began to celebrate these components. The turning point was when my palette became the discarded shapes, textures and colors of the bits and pieces gathered from scrap yards and roadsides. "I have a very practical bent – I use things of very little value and elevate them. I study the objects that we decorate our lives with and reconfigure them in my own language. Through my approach, I hope to convey hope, optimism and strength. I believe that art is a mirror that reflects who we are." - Gordon Chandler


Doris Messick



"I find much of the excitement, fun and inspiration for my basketry comes from nature’s endless bounty. The forms, colors and textures found in my baskets are all reflections of my close relationship with their source. My materials talk to me and I find it pays to listen." - Doris Messick

David Mach



British sculptor David Mach has been creating sculptures and installations with such unusual media as wooden match heads, coat hangers, scrabble tiles and more. To see more of his work go to http://www.davidmach.com/

"When I have ideas I want to make them, and not just some of them, but all of them. As a result of that my sculpture covers a multitude of sins. I like to work in as many different materials as possible. It's no understatement to say I am a materials junkie - jumping from highly-painted realistic cast fibreglass pieces to sculpture with coathangers, to a thatched barn roof laced with fibre-optics to designs for camera obscures (or at least the buildings to house them) and layouts for parks." - David Mach

How fun!

What a great idea for a lamp shade.!
