The Lalibela Series

This series interprets the grand cultures of Kemet, Ethiopia, Egypt and Sumer, and their embrace of the metals in the soils of the African continent. These illustrious societies continue to reveal cultural sophistication, mathematical precision, artistic craftsmanship and complex astronomical science. Their beliefs permeate their art and architecture, and those artifacts have endured for millennia. My work aims to provide a glimpse of the power and influence of those worlds. The processes of wire wrapping and “weaving’ patterns express the strength of these cultures without sacrificing their love of beauty.
