Introduction.
I have always liked to associate infinitely larger things with a totem that would be defined by a jewel, something easy to wear and always on oneself. For a few years I carved stones to define people by their personalities through shapes all more varied than others.
Change.
This year, I want to completely change my path by no longer carving stones (only on custom orders), but by working directly with metal in order to create a frame for each star in the sky. This radical change comes mainly from a change on my part in my artistic style. I have long persisted in not wanting to work with metal, despite my adequate training for it. This obstinacy eventually turned into curiosity.
It had been a few years since I had worked with metal, since my studies in this case! And what a good it did me! It was like a rebirth! An artistic renewal that launched me into a new path of unimaginable and incredibly rich possibilities!
I still set myself a limit that is not one; an identity of my own, the Stars.
Awakening.
For a few years now, I have been collecting various star gems without actually doing anything with them. Not daring to place them in stones, I accumulated them little by little until I made a nice little collection. Natural or not, I had a well-defined purpose; have to see an asterism. This chatoyance that is created from inclusion in the gems and that draws an asterism of 4 to 12 branches!
A small handful of stones is able to have this magical and unique effect; sapphire, ruby, spinel, garnet, diopside, moonstone, sunstone, quartz and many others much rarer... And all in unique and varied colors!
Spirituality.
It made me tilt, first for a personal creation, a star that has always popular spoken to me, Sirius, of the Great Dog. I have long been looking for a stone with this connection, this connection that would remind me of my constellation that speaks to me the most, by my life path, what I am, what I represent, what I was, what I want to be and what I was hugging. Once found, it was a relentless no-brainer. This star, which has always been part of my life, is a part of the inspiration and my energy that keeps me going! Making me a stud binding me to this stone and star forever.
Obviousness.
Since then, I have been shaping and forging silver frames with my hands, to awaken people to the beauty of these starry gems that represent the stars. Each creation is unique and representative of my perception of their translated names. I move forward and create little by little, each star of my hands, wishing them to find the person in connection with him.
