B. AVERY SYRIG
Avery is a multi-media three-dimensional artist. Through her studies in jewelry, ceramics, glass blowing, paper making, performance, and video arts she has explored the development of individuality within the varying forms of structures – physical, familial, and societal- that have created the means and defined the ways that we live in our world today. She is now applying her sculpture concepts and material experience to jewelry designs. She is interested in how natural elements can work as mini sculptures to adorn the body.
