While she's carving, Sherris wears magnifying loupes so that she can see fine detail. The process of her art is mostly done at this close-up, magnified level and the intricate patterns of light and color are a large part of her inspiration.
The act of gem carving is often similar to that of meditation. With that as an inspiration, the Chakra series of printed products was born. The close-up images of Sherris' gems found on our products offer a glimpse into her world. These show the distinct, individual pattern found in each gem while showcasing the amazing colors so prized in gemstones. The unique combination of patterns and color help to reveal meditative qualities inherent in the gems and the imagery.
Each of the pieces in this series is a specific color study. These colors reflect the idea of the body's chakras, as understood in the practice of yoga. We are presenting the seven colors associated with the chakras, as well an image inspired by the idea of Nirvana, and two versions of a rainbow.
All products are available in your choice of the nine designs (« at left).
