My work is on the move right now, traveling in Europe as part of a few really wonderful exhibitions. Last week, Schmuck began in Munich, Germany and several pieces from I Live Here Now were included in The Grass is Always Greener: Overseas. The exhibition, curated by Platforma, included the work of both American and Swedish jewelers. The show is now off to Platina Gallery in Stockholm, Sweden. It opens on March 26 and runs through April 25. I'm also excited to say a new group exhibition called The Best Of opened a few days ago at my gallery Beyond Fashion in Antwerp, Belgium. This exhibition features a hand-picked collection of work made by the artists represented by the gallery. I'm in such good company in all of these places and I just wish I could see the shows in person!

The Best Of at Beyond Fashion from March 12-25

guest star friday no. 15...marc monzo

i first saw marc monzo's jewelry in the 2006 schmuck exhibition at the museum of art and design in new york city. recently i rediscovered his work while surfing. i really like how he uses color, form, and line to create minimal, sculptural, yet playful, compositions. he explores everyday things, observes how they relate to each other, and considers what our usual perceptions are. the resulting jewelry makes the wearer and viewer part of the experiment by quietly asking them to reconsider the norm.

there is a excellent article on marc's work on klimto02. also, be sure to visit his website. it's really cool, lots of pieces to look at...i had a hard time choosing which to show.

thanks for reading.
