DREW HER TO THEIR MYSTERIES

She always wanted to travel
To the Middle East,

Drew Her to Their Mysteries.

To Her.
She would Discover
The Missing Tomb,
The Iridescent Vessel,
Precious Scarab
Inscribed with
The Cartouche of an Unknown Pharoah.
She would translate
The Indecipherable Alphabet.
An influx of ancient forms and designs,
Paisley Pears, Cuneiform Inscriptions and
Lotus Petals
Invaded her waking dreams.

Linda Kaye-Moses

In her work, Linda Kaye-Moses uses a multitude of techniques (metal clay, engraving, stamping embossing, dieforming, fold-forming, patination, roll-printing, cold-connections, blockprinting, assemblage and collage) to demonstrate the latent connection between her various media (sterling silver, fine silver, gemstones, 14K gold details, found objects, organic materials and occasional alternative metals).

Kaye-Moses' work emphasizes the narrative capacity of art in general, and wearable objects specifically, with a focus on mythic connections and adornment as empowering object.

Many of her jewels are paired with 'nesting cases' that serve as homes for them when they are not being worn. These cases and their elements, often including poetry and drawings, thematically frame and re-emphasize the jewels themselves. The rich texture of the pieces encourages the viewer/wearer to read and re-read them as stories to be lingered over and unraveled.

Linda Kaye-Moses has been working full-time as a professional jeweler since 1978. Her work has been exhibited nationally in galleries and at juried craft shows, including the Smithsonian. She has received two Massachusetts Arts Lottery Council Grants, three Massachusetss Cultural Council Professional Development Grants and a Niche Award.

I am also listed in 'jewelry'.
