Amina Harris

Amina Harris has always designed and made things. Clothing, puppets, beaded flowers and, for the past twenty years, jewelry. And, she has always admired the arts and crafts of the world studying them in college, searching out antiques stores and browsing museums, and eventually traveling and learning first hand. This series brings together all these elements, with a very direct influence from a recent trip to Morocco. Intriguing artifacts, some ancient - many newer, are melded together as she bridges the centuries honoring the artisans of the past by making something contemporary and new.
