The tinwork is
done with pliable tin (silver in color)
that is hammered to create borders, designs,
and forms. Frames, mirrors, ornaments
with pictures of saints, and crosses
are examples of the items tinwork producesI
love working with my hands. After arriving
in New Mexico, I quickly learned to love
tin. This unpretentious, honest material
offers endless design opportunities.
With so many outstanding New Mexico craftspeople
presenting the worthy, traditional styles,
I decided that I’d better not try
to outdo them in their own field, and
find a different approach. I guess that
my Dutch upbringing pushed my creativity
in the direction of contemporary, sometimes
quite minimal designs. Nonetheless, some
of my designs show a Southwestern touch,
yet I bet even then most people notice
my contemporary eye. |
