Carolyn Morris Bach - Carolina RI

Carolyn Morris Bach's intimate creations are often figurative spirits surrounded by moons, suns and animal imagery. Each piece is fabricated by hand using 18k, silver, copper and selections of jasper, petrified wood, stones, bone or ebony creating deeply personal metaphors of the rural environment. The artist lives in Southern Rhode Island. Her studio is surrounded by pastures and forests and impacted directly by the cycles of seasons which connect her to the natural environment and its visual expression in figurative imagery. For 30 years, her work has developed along themes which are keyed to visual metaphors – often found in older iconographies – representing the powers of sun, moon, wind, rain, stones, plants and a selection of animals residents that determine the rural, non-industrial landscape.
