Manufacture:
Sterling silver and Sneezewood inlay.
..aah, the by-products of other processes. These were bits of wood fallen out from the cutting of larger wooden rings. So satisfying to use them instead of throwing them away. It makes sense to me to use the leftovers of manufacture...
Design:
The circular shape of the leftover cutting is the very thing I am drawn to in geometry. I considered using full doughnut shapes and then decided to split them in half instead and set them apart, at angles.

The mental imagery I attribute to this is one of 'yanking the wheel if time and pulling it apart'.
Why this protest against time ?
Because it is moving too fast!
I feel my life moving past me and I wonder where I was when it happened. Break the cycle of time! What would happen? Would all creation fall apart? Is time the glue?
The tree (wood)
Forever and a day - the life of the tree is finite, but a little of itself may be held in a silver frame for a long time after its passing. A defiance against the destructive process of time.

Reflection:
In retrospect I understand what is happening here.
It is I who needs to slow down. Time is not the problem.
