tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-71023056800216976822011-07-08T06:02:39.269-07:00As a jewelry artist and metalsmith, I primarily work with found objects to create an intimate interrelationship with my viewer forming narratives on life and memories. I see these objects as remnants of lives once lived and as connections to the past. It is a desire for understanding the meaningfulness of life and our connection to material objects, however slight, that informs my work.Bobbi Mennetti Shafferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01934522040560235824noreply@blogger.comBlogger81100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102305680021697682.post-4175877888000510722010-01-18T19:02:00.000-08:002010-01-18T19:27:11.371-08:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2CyfpENGcyo/S1UiBw_u-6I/AAAAAAAAAHU/ZB8enCnzDbY/s1600-h/Ode+to+childhood.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;
