CONTEMPORARY PRECIOUS & ALTERNATIVE
Savannah, GA
A miraculous unfolding of patterns is the result of Xinia Guan’s diligent and incisive technique, where she uses a jeweler’s saw to painstakingly make every single individual cut in silver and gold. Utilizing a blend of computer technology to plan out the cuts, and the old-fashioned teamwork of hand and eye, Guan’s lovingly detailed work is a testament to the passage of time itself. Its complexity mirrors the time it took to plan it, form it, and shape it.
