No coneixia la feina d’aquest joier anglès i no puc descriure-la amb paraules, per tant us deixo les seves pròpies:
“I approach all my output with what I see as the spirit of the jewel, whether it is to be worn, to be held and used, or placed on a table. It is the mental approach of the Goldsmith, one catholic in technique, and omnivorous of material. The opportunity and ability to work through the deep treasury of precious gems, minerals, and metals is an enormous privilege, and, at times, a true confrontation with ‘prima materia’ – with the very elements of Creation. This extensive ‘palette of absolutes’ is something to which I am constantly drawn, to express the ideas that continue to haunt the different stratas of my mind: a search for the music within the silence, the movement within the stillness, and the eternal moment within the relentless dynamic of time. It is always a pursuit of the metaphor which will first ‘connect’, then enshrine, the meaning to provoke that essential journey of response in others – and like that of the alchemist, it is a quest for the transcendental, one where the Stone’s achievement lies in the ensoulment of the object itself.”

Jo crec que he al·lucinat més amb els papers que hi ha radere les peces que no pas amb ellles mateixes, i això que són molt bones.
Petons guapa. Per cert, la meva companya de feina va comprar uns botons de puny a aquella nòia que et vaig demanar i tot perfecte, a hipòtesisi els tenien per 800 euros i comprant-li a ella directament 160 e amb transport inclós, com es passen!!!!

I admit, I am put off by the use of devilish images or skeletons in art. Yet I find myself drawn in by Coates’s gold rings. The images are kind of creepy but compelling to look at due to their sculptural qualities. I will not buy Coates’s jewelry but I will admire it.
