Wearable
Sculpture in Precious Metals and Gemstones
Cassandra's one of a kind, ornate wearable sculptures have been
exhibited in galleries and shows throughout the Southwest. Each
can be worn on the body or displayed in a case as art, with
accompanying poem.
"Because I grew up around sculptor's wax, it was always
my preferred medium when doing small lost wax casting. I used
a building and layering process, as opposed to a carving away
process. I never considered myself a jeweler, but a sculptor
who happened to make jewelry-sized one of a kind wearable pieces,
that also happened to be made of fine gemstones and precious
metals. One difference as I see it, is less emphasis on making
the gemstone always the main focus, as jewelry tends to. A piece
of art should be valued not only for the sum of its materials;
sculpture puts more emphasis on theme, concept, shape and form
of the overall piece, using rare and precious gemstones to accent
that form. To emphasize more color on certain areas, 24 kt gold
plating was used as a way to paint the piece. The goal has always
been to make each work stand on its own, whether adorning the
body or not. Every piece has a story or poem behind it, and
each one is individually signed." ~ Cassandra
