SETTINGS & FINDINGS N.6 WITH JUVANA SOLIVEN
SETTINGS & FINDINGS WITH ARTIST JUVANA SOLIVEN
Intro by ml:
"A big reason Settings & Findings was started was to see the many ways people in jewelry
would respond to being asked what their setting and findings were. Creating a space for complex unpacking,
academic language, narrative and of course poetry. I leave it to the person writing to provide as much context as they wish in the format that best relates to their practice or the part of their work they are sharing with us here. Hawaii, US based artist Juvana Soliven leaves us with words to ponder and embody in relation to a new body of work that was recently shown as by Hawaii Craftsmen´s Annual Statewide Exhibition" ml

"On holding love or fear, desire or security
Like a space, or space
Holding heavy, packed densely like a black hole
Holding expansive, to no discernible end like the night sky
scattered with points of distant light which can be pulled into the dark, or guide a way through."
