AMENDA TATE JEWELRY

Artist Statement:
Amenda Tate has been designing and creating cutting edge jewelry since 1996. She studied Mechanical Engineering before realizing that her interest in "how things work" would be better satisfied in a more creatively aesthetic mode -- jewelry and metalsmithing. Amenda's work strikes a chord that resonates a fine balance of opposites: organic/mechanical, natural/processed, predictable/unexpected and she creates alliterations in metal that possess a rhythmic quality in form. Through hand forging and fabrication, and by combining these processes with innovative practices, her designs result in jewelry that embodies a sculptural presence. Amenda's work is individually handcrafted one piece at a time in her Denver, Colorado studio.

"My works are contemplations entertaining the idea that objects can be both organic in form and relation as well as mechanical in a functional format and can thus become objects of adornment."
