Artist Statement:
Contemporary plique-a-jour
enameling is seldom seen and
practiced by very
few. This technique, which
resembles miniature stained
glass and is
reminiscent of its Art Nouveau
influences, reminds one of the
past glories of skilled
metalsmiths and jewelers. The
intricate metalwork skeletons
require knowledge and skill in
fashioning fine filigree
forms, which are then
complimented by breathtakingly
colored enamels. But, it does
not simply imitate its past
masters' hands. The
"modernization" of today's
work is made possible not only
by technical advances in the
glass making industries but
also by the vision of today's
artists and craftspersons. ...
