ADC Central Chapter ADC Central Chapter blog of the latest events and happenings in the Phoenix and Northern Arizona area.Lynette AnderseasenThemes of human connection and interaction are often the driving forces behind my work. My goal is to cause both the viewer and the wearer to reflect on the connections made by casual and intimate interactions between individuals. Everyday people experience physical, emotional, and circumstantial exchanges with others, and inevitably there is an imprint or trace left behind. Although my work often addresses immediate relationships, I am particularly interested in how these interactions are affected by time. Historically jewelry and objects have often been passed on as heirlooms between generations carrying with them memory and sentiment. With this body of work I hope to evoke feelings of nostalgia, cause the viewer or wearer to revisit their past and reflect on relationships in their own life. My work is inspired by the human connections I see around me and the longing to hold on to what is inevitably lost.Barbara BrandelBarbara Brandel started out with figure drawing, moved to weaving and fiber arts for 25 years, and is now involved with mixed media assemblages, painting, and collage with postage stamps. The collage work often is about her fascination with the human form, and its coverings.Pam ChottI was born and raised in the Midwest where my love of stones led to informal instruction (gem and mineral club) in lapidary and silversmithing. A relocation to Arizona in 1984 has been pivotal to my continuing artistic development. I founded Song of the Phoenix in 1992 and offer handmade jewelry, select loose cabochons and BEADifferent™ findings - a reusable findings system I developed especially for handmade flame worked beads.Charity Hall Charity Hall received her master of fine arts degree in metal design from East Carolina University. Charity currently teaches Metals at Pima Community College.Tedd McDonah Born and raised in Rural Wisconsin, currently living with my wife and two sons in Tempe, AZ.
