so here's my thing you guys...

[lovelydivot]

I'm almost positive that I won't get in, but…

I did it and so it's done…might as well submit it
just to say I participated…

It's really no where near as abstract or technical
as it needs to be to impress the artsy jewelry types…
but whatever…

Theme was CONFRONTATIONS
My piece is the highly endangered Bluefin tuna escaping an illegal purse seine net…
Title; More than Gold


this is my inspiration photo..

[dickman69]

Catching tuna in a purse seine is illegal but im pretty sure itd also be wildly innefective, most illegal tuna fishing is done with longlines iirc

mate, you ever see someone handreel a blue fin in?

[dickman69]

In many places like US waters rod and reel is the only way allowed

Long lines =/= rod and reel

your work reminded me, ironically,
of those beautifully handmade lures

[lovelydivot]

thanks sd5 - I think there are a number of potential meanings with the piece…
It's hard to write a 100 word synopsis that touches on even a few of them…

..that's what I'm doing here tonight…cutting and cutting

[nowaysj]

Let sd5 write it for you.

Sierrad Internationals bi-annual art fair and competition…(art jewellery fair)

http://www.sieraadartfair.com/cms/?lang=en


last time I tried - only 52 out of 300+ people got in…so it's steep.

At the very least - some very special people will have a chance to reject it...


The show travels around europe for the 2 years in between….

Have you submitted your More Than Gold piece?
