Beautiful artwork necklace handmade by Karen Gilbert.  Modern brushed sterling silver piece hangs from delicate links strung with green beads.

Karen says, "I see my work from two sides.  One is the exploration of materials; the other is the content of my ideas.

The functonal forms in nature and science, put together, are those we find familiar.  I see these most primal forms as roadmaps for everything we think and feel.  The smallest can be a visual representation of the larger complexity.  What is underneath the surface is what i choose to explore. 

I try to question ideas about where comfort and beauty are found.  The objects I make are my expressions of a new narrative."
