The Warning Signs of Inner Peace
An inclination to act spontaneously
When energy moves freely in our spine and in our lives, we engage
in a flexible and creative exchange with the ever-present moment. When
we carry pain and tension, we tend to act with automatic defensive patterns.
At Network Chiropractic, we integrate standard, light-force
and energy procedures to achieve maximal ease. Dr. Jordan
Michels (20 years in practice) takes time to focus on the
cause, not just the symptom. Is Network Chiropractic for you?

Student metalsmiths fashion
education people can wear
■Students use their skills
to raise money for the
department and themselves
By Mason West
Oregon Daily Emerald
When confronted with the chal
lenge of making 20 to 40 pieces of
jewelry in less than two weeks on a
self-determined budget, junior Kel
ly Shannon conjured up a crus
tacean. The ring design Shannon
created relies on folds to shape the
metal like a cocktail shrimp.
“It was like an origami thing,” she
said. “You can use metal like a lot of
different elements; I thought of us
ing it like paper.”
These shrimp rings are Shan
non’s contribution to the Metal
smithing and Jewelry Program’s
Cheap Jewelry Sale, happening to
day from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the lob
by of Lawrence Hall. More than 400
pieces for the sale were made by in
termediate and advanced students
in metalsmithing as a class project.
Though the project is required for
the class, students buy most of their
materials. Tracy Steepy, visiting as
sisting professor for the metal
smithing department, said part of
the challenge is for students to
budget themselves for a production
line where no piece will be sold for
more than $10. Students are not
graded on how well their work sells,
but they have some motivation.
“The sale is designed as a
fundraiser for the department, but
proceeds are split 50/50 with the
students,” Steepy said.
Shannon found a cheap solution
for her project: using the free scrap
metal available in the workshop. Se
nior Devienna Anggraini is working
with copper wire and enameling to
make necklaces, earrings and
bracelets. She said 40 yards of wire
costs $1.99, but the real cost is the
time she spends working with it.
Neither Shannon nor Anggraini
could give an exact number of hours
they spend working on their proj
ects. Steepy said the department
recommends students spend at
least six hours a week outside of
class, but Shannon said metal
smithing students typically spend
much more than that.
Maru Almeida did all her work
for the sale this week, but the third
year master of fine arts student has
already had some practice. This is
her third sale with the University,
and she participated in three others
during her undergraduate work at
University of Texas at El Paso.
Almeida waited to start work on the
sale because she said she was focus
ing on the “Hermetic Insights”
show, which features work from the
metalsmithing graduate students.
Her pieces on display this week in
the La Verne Krause Gallery are part
of her graduate project to incorpo- *
rate sugar with precious materials
to make jewelry.
Almeida said she enjoys experi
menting with new materials that she
must find ways to manipulate. So far,
she has been working with sugar
packing, crystal growing and melted
sugar to create different pieces. Toy
ing with the convention that jewelry
must be made of precious materials
plays a big part in Almeida’s aesthet
ic ideology, she said.
“You might want to eat these,”
Almeida said about her pieces.
“You’ll think about how you are go
ing to enjoy this piece — look at it,
wear it, imagine what it tastes like. ”
Shannon said her drive to create
pieces is not grounded in the
process of creation but in the aes
thetic. As she held the shrimp ring,
she said, “I’m not interested in mak
ing this to make it. I’m more into it
structurally. Jewelry is like small
sculptures.”
To produce a volume of pieces for
the show, Shannon said the design
has to be “dumbed down” aestheti
cally and economically.
“You still have to be artistic,” she
said, “just within stricter parame
ters.”
Both Steepy and Almeida said
part of the show’s purpose is to give
students a practical perspective on
their profession.
“As an artist, sometimes it’s good
to rely on the fact that you can create
something that will be profitable,”
Almeida said. *
At the same time, Almeida came
to the United States from her home
in Chihuahua, Mexico, to study *
jewelry as an art form. She said if
she would have stayed in Mexico,
she would have learned to make
jewelry as a trade without any per
sonal artistic exploration. Almeida
said the contact between jewelry
and the wearer doesn’t lessen its
artistic value, rather it makes jewel
ry an “intimate art.”
“I’ve never had anything that is
gold or diamonds or precious in it
self,” she said, “but an original piece
of jewelry can say a lot more about
the person.”

ships with other people can tran
scend that sensibility,” Appel said.
Lauren Armstrong, a senior theater
arts major who plays Dana in “Peep
hole,” said she enjoys the challenges
other part. Armstrong said she idol
izes her character because Dana ques
tions everything she is told and can
remain perfectly calm in the face of
danger and death. She described the
play as the story of “a yuppie couple,
Dana and Gerard, residing in a large
city during the Apocalypse. ”
“ (Dana’s) driving force—her rea
son for living at this point in her life
— is not her material possessions,
her place in a capitalist society or a
belief in a divine entity, but her love

for Gerard,” Armstrong said.
Willis said the playwrights, stu
dent actors, designers and crew
members have all made valuable
contributions to the plays while
defining their talents. But he also
said the two plays are very different
from each other.
“‘Peephole’ is slightly absurdist,
while ‘Leaving Shallot’ is very natu
ralistic,” he said. “Both plays con
tain a mix of humor and serious
emotion, though the balance is
more comic in ‘Peephole’ and more
dramatic in ‘Leaving Shallot.’”
This is his fourth production in
the Arena Theatre, and Willis said
he has been faced with coordinating
the efforts of all the artists working
on the production of both plays, in
stead of just one.

“Part of the fun of the evening of
the two plays is that they are very
different stylistically,” Willis said.
“Seeing the two styles side by side
gives audience members a chance
to compare their own reactions to
the different styles in a more imme
diate fashion than seeing separate
productions at separate times.”
