ROBERT BAINES

INTIMATE FRIENDSHIPS
Jewellery knowledge broadens when the gesture is discovered. Each knowing has its diverse place disclosing a different gesture, and revealing a multiplicity of familiarities while the dissimilar remains.
Discovering happy faces, sad faces, old faces and young faces though jubilation and elation can be followed by tears, grief and sorrow.
Wearing the jewellery increases a personal knowing. Likeness exists but from each angle there is a revelation of the unalike and acquaintances and friendships develop. Attachment is the jewel.
