Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to explain the creation and the reasoning behind a group of jewelry pieces which was begun in August, 1974. The following discussion of my work covers a range of topics related to my jewelry and how they reflect my philosophical outlook. In my efforts to create abstract forms derived from nature, I work with two mental processes which deal with my intuitions and intellect and they help me to make use of my creative abilities. Much can happen from these processes, and I hope to justify my jewelry making not only on these terms, but along with detailed discussions of techniques, materials, etc.
