Yvonne Giamborne-Martin
Next I want to see
the work of Rene Dayan-Whitehead who describes her stone sculpture as expressing the movement and shapes of dance. Her forms express movement, juxtaposing the softness of movement and the hardness
of the stone. Her works are somehow luminous. Perhaps it’s the material she works with, but I can’t wait to see them
in person and to ask her how her work seems not only to be moving, but also to glow. (3520 Bloomfield Rd., Sebastopol) renedayanwhiteheadstudio.com

First I am going to see the kinetic jewelry of Yvonne Giamborne-Martin. She describes her work as including mechanical elements as she strives to create miniature kinetic sculptures that can be worn. She works in precious metals and incorporates natural stones. I think I will have to leave my credit card in the car or better yet, at home!! (2060 Blucher Valley Rd, Sebastopol)
