About me and my work
- Susan Elnora
- I am drawn to imagery that reflects a connection to spirit, awareness, curiosity, and playfulness. I'm interested in exploring the idea that jewelry can fulfill roles beyond that of adornment; it also acts as a visual and tactile manifestation of memories, dreams, and intentions. Jewelry can become a powerful symbol of personal mythos, as well as a reminder to cultivate presence and openness. My work, while often stirring unique individual associations, also tends to point to our essential connectedness and a certain shared experience of the world.
Just completed this piece for Mariposa Gallery in Albuquerque, for a Valentine's show called "Be Still My Anatomical Heart."
ReplyDeleteThe name refers to ravens belonging to the Norse god Odin. Each morning, he sent his two ravens, named Thought and Memory, out into the world. Every evening they returned to tell him what they'd seen.
Hugin & Munin I recognized the concept from the title. Nice use of a classical image with a more modern heart concept.
