Brim forges pillows,
shoes, aprons, tutus, flowers and rhododendron branches
from iron with detail, strength and sensitivity. Through
blacksmithing she found her way to link the gritty with
the feminine, both parts of the Victorian world of Charles
Dickens that she loves. Her non-traditional content
allows her to be feminine within a historically masculine
field.
Brim is slated to do a presentation
at Society of North American Goldsmith (SNAG) to talk
about women in iron. She is collecting images from all
the women she knows in iron. She is the de facto spokesperson
for the women in iron phenomenon and is asked all the
time to speak. |
