I dwell in possibility.

The Dixon Studio Tour has been going on since 1982 here in New Mexico. Many people have come, and gone, and come back again, but not many can say they have showed at 37 of them—Kay Weiner can!

After studying dance in NYC, Kay made her way to Dixon and became interested in mastering a craft. After initially pursuing Cloisonné, a technique of enameling metal, she tried sculpture and found great inspiration while at the Santa Fe Community College.

Many of the works happen to be smaller and can also be worn, let’s call it sculptural jewelry.

Larger works are sculpted from plate steel and sometimes powder-coated to a matte finish. Mid scale pieces explore patina, surface, and a hammered form like the work seen above in NuGold. These and the smaller works are wrought in argentium silver, gold, as well as non precious metals—the jewelry often incorporate stones as well.

We look forward to sharing the longer interview with you in November, until then, here’s the trailer.
