I don't know why I first wanted to go there, but I think you found the why. I hope to take a class from you before you go back. I love the idea that a place called Ice, is full of fire. <br /><br />Roxy LentzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4931593188594703131.post-24715999179143118232013-11-14T09:21:48.873-05:002013-11-14T09:21:48.873-05:00Michele…such an amazing comment.

The new jewelry pieces you posted are void of curves and circles (how I best know most of your work, anyway) -- and even before I read this blog post I had thought those new pieces reminded me so much of the many simple yet complex photos you had taken of moments, blips, cracks, rust, humble, lush, full and big, breathing Iceland. Although we have not met in person (well, we have, I think, but in passing ... the eve of open studio night at Penland, summer 2010) but what I remember the most were the very curious, mundane objects you were making important (gawd I pray this person was you)... almost like everything on the wall and table of 'wearable objects' were hung and strung with "question mark push pins" just as much as they were hung with a conviction that they were right. The road was becoming clear. And now seeing angular, cold metal brooches (absolutely beautiful, BTW) juxtaposed with the soft, light, meditative fiber piece you made in Iceland all makes sense. Yes, you are an ARTIST FIRST. Your contemplation is so admirable, Amy! Your intuition is giving you permission and especially wings. I, too, feel the shift in you was meant to be. Follow it with your gift of curiosity and tenacity, Amy! I will be so interested to keep up with your Icelandic adventures. All the best, Michele T.
