The
following body of work compliments and expands on cosmic and
mythic themes, which Ashley Coll began exploring in her line
of jewelry. As her jewelry is designed to be worn on either
side many of these works are created as diptychs... one side/painting
enhances an understanding of the other. |

"This
first painting in a series of three is entitled 'WHO'. The
black sweeping strokes spell out the word 'who'. The figures
are from Nazca and Aboriginal art... all contemplating the
question 'who put us here'." -

"My
series of belt buckles, using precious metals, black epoxy
and steer horn drew its inspiration from my interpretation
of the currents of energy which flow through the cosmos. I
named these works after Castor and Pollux, the Gemini constellation,
because of the fraternal bond these brothers had, which was
so strong the gods placed them eternally together in the heavens."

"This
series is an interpretation of photos of constellations where
the stars appear as black dots so as to be more visible. The
jewelry was constructed of precious metal, black epoxy and
steer horn. The whiteness of the horn was a perfect background
for my interpretation of photographed star systems."

"ONENESS
and TO TOUCH THE STARS express the eternal desire of man for
immortality. In this quest to unite with the immortal man
devised numerous mythologies which are represented here by
glyphs. In Oneness the diverse glyphs are united by the Hebrew
letter shin which is the start of the word Shadai which in
Hebrew is the most mysterious name for god. The shin transcends
earthly diversity for a oneness with the universe. To Touch
the Stars also deals with mankind’s desire to unite
with the infinite here denoted the Hebrew word El (god) which
transcends heaven and earth. Glyphs represent man’s
earthly diversity which can be united by study (torah), spiritality
(avodah) and acts of loving kindness (gemilut chasadim) which
are the foundation upon which a united earth rests."
