Breathing Carefully and detail (ring), Fine silver, glass, mixed media, 2009, 16” x 10” Photograph by Tommy Elder
 

"Each of us has a personal symbolism: a battered antique clock, a seedling, waterfall or leaves and vines may evoke associations and meaning. For this show, I've combined elements like these – made of glass, silver, and mixed media - into a wall sculpture to let each person respond and construct their own story. Also, the sculpture offers a more intimate experience: a chance to extract a piece to wear as jewelry. The silver seedling becomes a ring; a glass stalactite hangs as a pendant.
— Beth Hylen, 2009
