I’ve considered you as someone I very much relate to since working through your flex shaft video… this video brought me further sentiment. 🥲 I recently experienced the power of my own immune system attacking me & lost ability to lift my arms or move my legs without a tremendous amount of pain. I’m fortunate it only lasted a few weeks, yet it was long enough to have all of these emotions- loss, panic over passion & ability, wayfinding, adjusting, & attaining a new gratitude for what I do as a maker. And yes, making… the thirst & curiosity about material and process. Ahh 🤤 (currently renovating house & yep, that’s making too… from jewelry to the jigs, the shop/studio to work on the building at large.)
Andy is one of the most creative art jewelers in the field. His work is sublime. Hearing this story is both frightening and inspiring.
Amazing story! Powerful!
Going through multiple retina detachments myself right now. All we can do is to keep on keeping on. Your work is so inspiring.
