Pistons, pipes, and wires meet veins, sinews, and bone in this hodgepodge sculptural piece that merges technological and biological forms. 4 teardrop shaped charms dangle over the first digit of the thumb. The idea is just that, each represents a thought, or idea that dangles in the body, commenting that ideas become body. The power of thoughts and feelings in relation to the physical have long been recognized by esoteric wisdom schools; the thinking mind creates the physical form. Put your attention to the feeling of life in your hands. What does it feel like? Can you feel the vibrations? The body is interpreting the world around it. Density is deciphering density, energy is meeting energy, waves are meeting waves. All that is required is your attention in order to know this to be so. Let this Thinking Body Cuff serve as a reminder that we are inhabiting a living, changing, thinking biological organism that served as a vehicle while we are ______ (your name here). The chain is used to keep the cuff on the wrist. The circle is designed to allow for the bone on your right hand wrist to protrude through. As for size, silver is a semi malleable precious metal and therefore with light pressure it can be adjusted to fit any size. Repeated bending however can cause it to become brittle and snap. Once it is bent to fit comfortably, it is recommended to keep it that size and to avoid further bending. Made to order. Please allow a little extra time for delivery.
Soul searching into deeper understandings of life, reality, and perception drove this collection and resulted in HXS, Hard and Softwear. Hardware and software are terms commonly reserved to describe a computer and programs. HXS is a physical jewelry collection embodying a metaphysical idea that we inhabit a 'human body' shell that we believe to be solid, BUT organic, inorganic, and metaphysical substance are not dissimilar on the most basic level of quantum mechanics. Everything is a product of energy and information. Science declares the atom, held, as the basic unit of matter, is not a solid entity, and the universe is made entirely of non-stuff. The advent of fax machines, computers, radio, television and the Internet are possible due to this realization. This season, each piece of jewelry in the BEVEL Hard and Softwear collection comments on the state of our Hardware, body, and Software, soul, in an attempt to offer alternate perspectives on the way we view our selves and our environment. The jewelry of HXS compares machine to biology, physical to metaphysical, ‘hard wear’, jewelry/body, to ‘soft wear’, skin/soul, and the idea that it is all the same thing, energy.
