Paradoxes seem to rule my work world….I could not create without influence...cultural, artistic and experiential… i seira is the sum of all these parts.
And yet, I create best in a vacuum…without the noise or influence of social media or any of the imagery or news that is in constant motion. I find the noise prohibitive to the process..instead I strive to listen to my intuition and to work with a clear focus.
Some days are much easier than many others…here, in an old barn that two centuries ago was occupied by a blacksmith, I make my jewelry. I am happiest here, in my cozy loft full of history…and tucked away from all distractions.
xx, Alexa
