BIO

artist Statement - Daniel Harmon JoczBIO

bio When I began working in metals and jewelry, I chose to follow my imagination whereever it leads me. This free exploration is essential to the development of my work. Add to that my fondness for the feel of metal and things small, and I guess you have the biggest reason for me doing this work.

I do not expect others to gain my particular insights through this work, but I hope perhaps within the communication there is a moment of poetic revelation for the spectator.
