Pyper Hugos Jarrod Eastman

From the beginning of my career as an artist, it was important to me to find my own voice and an innovative material in which to create my jewelry. That inspiration was found in the forgotten junkyards across the country. I create jewelry objects made using found automotive steel. I intentionally leave the original car paint intact and unaltered. My work is often simple in form with a direct intent to accentuate the beauty of aging and imperfection within the salvaged car metal. The form, texture and colors of the old automotive steel continually inspire me to find new ways in which to express its beauty. Using cold form fabrication techniques my work leans towards a refined, modern design aesthetic. My favorite piece is always the next creation, for I love the process and its rewards.
