Ornamental Elements

Earl Pardon’s bracelets jumped off the Pinterest page…and onto one of my boards. This quote from a 1980 retrospective now haunts the way I look at minutiae…“In Nature and its awesome wonderment I find this equally true—a growth of moss can be visually more significant than a forest; a singular stone can be more interesting than a mountain.” Artist’s statement, Earl Pardon: Retrospective Exhibition, Skidmore College, 1980″
