Bio

Teresa Faris is an American Contemporary Jeweller who holds a MFA (Fine Art) in metals from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Rhythmic and repetitive movements command her artistic creative process. As seen in the series: Collaboration with a Bird, repeatedly chewed wood, by a winged one, and hand sawed or pierced metal are the main components of her jewellery. Faris's works have been featured in various exhibitions and publications and she has received a number of Fellowships, Honors and Awards.

Statement

Humans inhale and exhale approximately 22,000 times a day. Hummingbird’s average 250 breathes per minute.

Privilege comes in many forms ranging from eye color, physical and mental ability to class, status and power. I see the greatest privilege one could have is the ability to forget that air is entering and exiting the body. To perform this one critical natural act without any mental consideration frees the mind to explore endless arenas of fantasy, invention and day-to-day tasks.

When removed from what is natural and stripped of privilege one must find ways of soothing the mind. A caged non-human may pace or repeatedly chew wood, and a dis-eased human may pace or saw metal. Rhythmic and repetitive movements encourage introspective or creative thinking. As a maker, I have adopted this practice and find that it eases the mind when the body is testing and acting as a reminder of impermanence. I am drawn to the simplest technique of sawing/piercing as I find that I am able to forget about the process in the same way that some individuals may forget about the breath.
