Each individual artist’s perspective, unique approache to studio practice, and the resulting artwork embodies a range of responses to a single material. Whether focusing on historic meaning, chemical composition, visual aesthetics or specific features like luster or reflection, each work contributed its own interpretation of silver’s unique qualities and significance.
