"Our natural world is my endless reservoir. The textures of tree bark, crumbly mica, the amazing terrain of an oyster shell and other such wonders truly astound me. Where the stem in a leaf and its nutrient carrying veins merge is beautiful. Circular ripples from a stone tossed in the water, the fine lines of sand built by tidal changes the shadows during winter sunsets are powerful enduring images of things so momentary. These gifts no doubt powerfully lead my work. The process of sawing, filing, soldering and hammering metal satisfies what must be a primal need to build. I use mostly hand tools, stakes, anvils, old chisels and a torch to create jewelry that hopefully connects with the wearer on another level that is beyond ornament." - Kim Jones
