Matt Willig

Jeweler

I have always been intrigued by contrasts and the tensions and relationships between them. My work incorporates many different techniques, textures, shapes, energies and materials. I feel it reflects my fascination with the interplay between elements that creates visual tension, feelings of imbalance and movement. Using different colored golds, silver, stones and found objects, I try to create a harmony of disparate images. Some of my current work incorporates design elements as functional mechanisms integrating the work more directly with the wearer.

By using the elements of gold, copper, silver and brass, Matt makes beautiful works of art and amazing pieces of jewelry.
