Jim Bové, US

Jim Bové is an educator and artist living south of Pittsburgh. A residency to the Arctic Circle has been inspiration for a new body of artwork which takes that vast landscape, filled with ice and sky, and interprets it into an intimate scale for the human body.

I personally witnessed the truth of global warming while traveling to the far Arctic north. Towering glaciers that took thousands of years to form are now quickly receding. Daring to capture the ancient blues of these glacial fronts, I learned how to work in a new material, porcelain, and use 3D printing to create the brooch frames.
