Intro
Jesse Bert lives and works in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.  He holds an MFA in Jewelry and Metalsmithing from East Carolina University in North Carolina.  A studio artist who teaches classes and workshops, Jesse's creative bench work includes sculptural jewelry which incorporates repurposed materials, and fabrication of fine hand made tools.  Recent exhibition venues include: Tienda “Q” Oaxaca City; Velvet da Vinci gallery, San Francisco; Alchemy 925, Massachusetts; The Palace of Iturbide, Mexico City; The amber Fair Legnica, Poland; Inhorgenta Fair Munich, Germany; Franz Mayer Museum, Mexico City.  In 2014 Jesse was invited to participate as a fellow at the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts residency program.

Statement

My work is informed and inspired by the land in which I live, history and architecture.  Often incorporated in my works are old objects and shards of items once used or seen but now forgotten.  Process and technique is important to me, the work is narrated with descriptive surface texture.  Nature is another essential element in my life.  The pattern, repetition, and consistency show through in the items that leave my bench, carrying with them great detail and an acute intricacy like so many of the wonderful plants found on my daily walks.
