Dear Jose thank you very much for your inspiring moderation. Due to the lack of time my interventions are brief and intermittent. I’ld like to write more on your review later on.
For now I am posting a fragment of my work. This in particular is about communication, possibly one of the most abstract forms of “collecting material”
from the series 'Human Patterns, LH 2008
‘Human Patterns’
A moment of silence. An intermittent but endless line of silence.
A blank space our mind can fill in with thought.
Stories embodied in fragments of repetition.
Memories looped in a waiting line.
How many seconds make a moment?
We might fold the line into a circle while time keeps slipping away.

Hi Leonor,
Well thank you, I feel honored for having such readership in WGA.
I celebrate your personal angle towards making jewelry, since you are asking questions of time and sound, which seem odd to the task of crafting. But, as your wire piece shows, every piece of material bears in itself the age and time of its making as well as the imprint of the maker. A moment of thought can be also the Thought of the moment, a good name for this work.
Hasta la vista,
Jose
