Terry Fromm loses herself in the process of making. Fromm’s jewelry and metal art are constructed from a variety of metals which are often manipulated so that they mimic the looks and characteristics of softer materials. Inspired by flowing forms observed both in nature and in draping textiles, Fromm creates finely crafted jewelry and sculptural containers by transforming flat, stiff sheets of metal into simple, sculptural forms with an illusion of softness and movement. The metal is formed by hand–through hammering, heat and twisting–into elegant, casual and intriguing works of art. The resulting pieces have soft flowing contours that can stir a quiet inner sense of balance and beauty.
