| [321] The Work of Darcy Miro |
Artist Darcy Mire takes the term 'precious jewelry' and turns it on its head. Her careworn cuffs, rings, and neckpieces, most constructed of sterling silver or 18-karat gold, are more wearable sculpture than status symbol; they seem almost embarrassed to be valuable. An occasional shy diamond, garnet, or sapphire peeks from beneath a tendril or under a fold..... (2002)

| [348] The Work of Jay Song |
"I'm not a secretive person," Song observes, 'but my work tells me I have many layers. I have a secret room in my heart telling me to do this kind of work.' Each ring has a outwardly expressive force, yet Song expands the commemorative function of rings to honor the inner complexity we all carry. She engages our hands with rings that open up, draw us in, and let us explore-in physical and psychic terms-the hidden spaces of memory and identity..... (2002)

| [452] The Work of Jennifer Trask |
Jennifer Trask sometimes seems to approach jewelry like a natural historian, filling locket-sized, glass topped silver and gold cases with specimens isolated from the world around her. She likens herself to a Victorian taxonomist, and a whiff of the musty museum case does attend her forms. She affirms the association by inscribing the backs of the cases with the common and scientific names of the objects within..... (2002)

| [292] The Work of Judith Hoyt |
For more than 20 years Judith Hoyt has parsed the human figure in metal and mixed media. Beginning with a salvaged scrap of metal, wood, a book, or other material with a history, she fashions solitary or paired figures, often with a surprised or pensive mien, She is a metallist to the extent that fabricated metal forms provide a ghostly surface on which opaque paint is sparingly applied.....
