Jeweler and metalsmith Barbara Mann has over four decades of experience under her belt as a creator and instructor, with her latest exhibition, “Forging Connections: Metal Art Inspired by the Marine Carbon Cycle,” driven by her interest in the complexity of the natural world. Equal parts artistic and scientific, she has created metaphorical expressions of processes like evolution and the carbon cycle in these pieces, with an intense attention to the materials she uses and the processes that transform them. The works reflect her curiosity around new scientific technologies and discoveries, and our evolving understanding and perception of life on Earth. Through this artist talk and demonstration, Mann plans to give audiences a deeper insight into her process and ideas as she created this series.
