Jeffrey Smith: Elements Co

In this beaded collage by Jeffrey Smith, nature and artistry converge. Two mesmerizing slices of agate, rich in swirls of teal and azure, are encased by meticulously hand-placed beads that ripple like organic currents. Smith's intricate beadwork echoes the fluid patterns of the stones, creating a harmonious dialogue between his human touch and our earth's natural formations. Beside them, a delicate seed pod, weathered yet enduring, completes the composition, tying together elements of growth, transformation, and resilience in a vibrant, oceanic palette.
