Interview with Avery Lucas

I was taught to make by people who pushed me to open my eyes. I was drawn to jewelry because it could be made of anything and about anything. There are many avenues of making from corporate bling to trashcan art. For me, each piece opens another door, asks another question, and gives me the yearning to explore avenues not yet satisfied. Being human is to ask questions about the world I live in and my place in it, but being a maker has helped me define and articulate a space within which to operate.
