Ursula:
When you light a candle, you also cast a shadow.
My imagination makes me human and makes me a fool; it gives me all the world and exiles me from it.
Light is the left hand of darkness
and darkness the right hand of light.
Two are one, life and death, lying
together like lovers in kemmer,
like hands joined together,
like the end and the way.
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness (Hainish Cycle, #4)

J krishnamurti :
I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect. ... The moment you follow someone you cease to follow Truth.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
To transform the world, we must begin with ourselves; and what is important in beginning with ourselves is the intention. The intention must be to understand ourselves and not to leave it to others to transform themselves or to bring about a modified change through revolution, either of the left or of the right. It is important to understand that this is our responsibility, yours and mine...

Emily Dickinson
rw emerson-circles: I unsettle all things. No facts are to me sacred; none are profane; I simply experiment, an endless seeker.
Our life is an apprenticeship to the truth, that around every circle another can be drawn; that there is no end in nature, but every end is a beginning; that there is always another dawn risen on mid-noon, and under every deep a lower deep opens.

APPRENTICESHIP IN ADVANCED SHAMANISM AND SHAMANIC HEALING
Name: Emily Baker
Phone Number: 206.992.3932
Occupation: Artist, plant medicine worker, musician, stylist+designer for film sets and jewelry designer
Sword+fern stuff
My new F/W jewelry collection-Memorizer ( 2013)
Inspired by the ancient Pacific Northwest First Nations myth of Copper Woman-the First Mother of civilization: Her warrior training traditions, wisdom, and the power of intuition. I let my senses rule during my process of creating the pieces, watching myself go through steps of designing in a very non-linear way- my most beloved way to work: Gathering materials via happenstance+spontanaeity; using materials that were found or free or given to me; messing up+leaving it; then coming back to it again..finding design within design and coming up with a frenzy of new ideas each time I had one last minute to spare on a detail I’d forgotten about, etc.. I found fluidity, the concept of water logic, and the secret world of my own tiny joys came to the surface during each minute I had to work on it. As a result, I couldn’t limit myself to a collection founded on one or two materials, so it happily celebrates color+shape, texture+graphic, reflection+deflection, lightness and darkness, weight+flight, all at once.
The alchemic imperfections of hand-cut healing copper, hand-dyed wood in bold ombre chakra tones, engraved graphics on leather, silkscreened scarves, cast concrete, and cut mirrors all blend together to tell the story of a secret society’s traditions and their visions of women’s ancient wisdom, power, and strength-taking the wearer on a joyride to the space alive inside their own personal landscapes.
Thanks so much to Matt Kennedy at DIGITAL CRAFT PDX, Riley Richards, and Adam Porterfield of GOLDEN RULE DESIGN for their help in my process for the line!

Content room preview:
Sword + Fern presents "YOUJOY" as the concept of the night.
"YOUJOY" is Emily's current mantra-a playful aphorism she uses to describe her way of increasing our frequency of happiness and health, just by being yourself. YOUJOY means incorporating small delights into every day in a seamless, fluid motion via smart work: art, music, garden and object-making, thinking, loving, messing up and cracking up...in your own way that is just you.
Much of the new collections and the new line, Water Logic, are intuitively designed, and influenced by Emily's immersion intoShambhala Buddhist teachings, from favorite teachers Pema Chödrön and founder of Shambhala, Chögyam Trungpa.
From Shambhala.org:
"This (Shambhala) tradition teaches how to live in the (secular) world with courage and compassion.
Buddhism offers methods to clarify our mind, open our heart, and face the realities of human life, while the Shambhala teachings offer practices for rousing our life force and connecting with the natural power and energy of the phenomenal world. The combination of these wisdom traditions offers a contemporary, effective spiritual path. Following it, we can reclaim our natural birthright of wisdom and compassion, and work with others to bring about the best in human society."
YOUJOY.you are joy.joy is you.
"What will Sword + Fern's room look like? It entails a sensory exploration of shape and sound.
For CONTENT 2012, Emily Baker has stepped away from the role of jewelry designer and ventured into the new territory of sculptural objects,and will debut “Water Logic”, a sparkling new line of conceptual sculptural objects and textiles that intrigue the visual and tactile senses.Tabletop pieces,textiles and wall hangings-jewelry for the home.
Creating mobiles, organically hung sculpture, and intricate displays for her brick and mortar shop over the years, Baker decided to go full force into creating a line of architectural objects for enjoying and displaying, keeping to her mainstay jewelry materials like wood, copper, brass, glass,and found ephemera, and using raw materials brand new to her such as concrete, mirrors, and silk textiles.
Curated alongside Water Logic will be Baker's F/W 2012 jewelry/wearables collection “Memorizer”. The line features healing copper, hand-dyed wood in bold ombre chakra colors,engraved leather, silkscreened scarves,cast concrete,and mirrors that temper the object collection's fluidity.
