Enid Kaplan
Enid Kaplan's artistic
exploration of the mythic realm of consciousness is
manifested on a wide variety of scales, from amuletic jewellery
to shamanic
talking sticks to figurative sculptures measuring up to 15'.

Enid Kaplan
is a studio
jeweler, sculptor and mixed-media artist who
has taught, lectured
and exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the
US, Canada
and Europe. Her work has been published internationally in books
and magazines, and is part of the permanent collection of the
American Craft
Museum in New York City as well as private collections
throughout the world.
Enid Kaplan's jewellery
and sculptures are constructed assemblages combining
mixed metals with stones, woods, plastics and shells, bones, watch parts or
photos. A native of Manhattan, she has traveled
extensively throughout her
life and these experiences inform all
aspects of her artistic expression.
An eight-month
journey through remote tribal regions of Southeast Asia,
including
Borneo and New Guinea, reconnected her to an earlier and more
profound function of art, which is to summon the personal and
collective
journey towards self-realization. Her works are amulets,
tools for rites of
passage, for healing, and for communion with
the natural world.
