Collection: Judah Ashton - Tasman

This is “Confluence”. A meeting of stone and metal. In the most literal sense, a confluence is the meeting point of two waterways, however it comes into use in other ways, as in the flowing together of cultures or ideas.

Secondly, the joining of two spheres of the wearable arts world, carved stone, and fashioned metal. When these two materials are brought together, the result is something quite special… This is “Confluence”. A meeting of stone and metal.

This collection displays the crossover of carved stone and fashioned metal. By themselves, these two materials occupy their own spheres within the wearable arts world, but when they are brought together, the result is amazing.
