Interview: Kevin Morrison Jewelry

| | Comments (101)

New Yorkers are saturated with hundreds of street vendors around the city selling everything from knock off Ray-Bans to gas masks.  One sunny winter afternoon in the meatpacking district where a friend and myself had just finished a lovely afternoon tea at The Standard Grill, she lead me to a table featuring some jewelry she wanted to purchase.  It was there I met Kevin Morrison, a jewelry designer with a rare talent for crafting pieces that have character, thought, and passion. My favorite piece of his collection is the ring with spikes in silver. Four months later I had held onto Kevin's business card, impressed with his work I wanted to talk to him more about his work and what inspires him to make such incredible pieces of art.

When did you begin designing and crafting jewelry?


As long as I can remember I enjoyed making things, but specifically I recall being 9 or 10 when my aunt's apartment was robbed and all of her jewelry was taken. So as a present I made her an entirely new set of jewels out of wire and glass beads.

 

What inspires your pieces? 


My ideas come from the world. Textures, seeds, a feeling. Some of my pieces hold threatening shapes. This is in reaction to the threat that we all feel-the hostility that seethes within humans..there is a peaceful way to represent this-like cacti. Displayed.

Where are they available?


Currently you can only get these pieces directly or at The Dressing Room 75A Orchard Street, New York, NY. Direct contact K at: lozenge4@gmail.com

 

What is the name of the spiky ring?


There are several spiky rings. Vandal6, Vandal7.5 and The Emerald Vandal7.5...there's also a prototype that originated the line 10 years ago. With 360 degrees of spikes it proved uncomfortable..I rarely produce these anymore..I call it the 360Safety ring . People always react and say, "You could really hurt somebody with this."- My reply is that you can hurt somebody with anything at hand-anything!..a shoe, a purse..words, screams, whatever it takes to gain safety. With the 360 you can't hurt anyone without hurting yourself; but isn't that true generally?

What materials do you use to make the jewelry?

I'll use anything at hand, sometimes I'll seek but I have no special preference. Currently metal is resonating for me. Fine or base..If something proves to be corrupted: ex: Feathers; I will not use that. unless I discover them vintage-reclaimed. I'm very affected by the ancient world. I like their mediums. The  Sails, stone- hammers and fire. It may have been brutal-but a departure in my mind from a world in which people navigate with thumbs and walk around with their pants falling down-a strange, ugly silhouette.

I’d come to set with you one this subject. Which is not something I typically do! I really like reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to comment!

I am not sure where you are getting your information, but good topic. I needs to spend some time learning more or understanding more. Thanks for great information I was looking for this information for my mission.

I have been reading out some of your articles and i can claim pretty clever stuff. I will definitely bookmark your site.

Couldnt agree more with that, very attractive article

Enjoyed reading through this, very good stuff, appreciate it.

The most difficult thing is to find a blog with unique and fresh content but your posts are not alike. Bravo.

Frickin’ remarkable things here. I’m very glad to see your article. Thanks a lot and i am looking forward to contact you. Will you please drop me a mail?

I have read a few good stuff here. Definitely worth bookmarking for revisiting. I wonder how much effort you put to make such a wonderful informative website.

Frickin’ awesome things here. I’m very glad to see your post. Thanks a lot and i'm looking forward to contact you. Will you please drop me a e-mail?

Aw, this was a very nice post. In thought I wish to put in writing like this additionally – taking time and precise effort to make an excellent article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and not at all seem to get something done.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

It's best to participate in a contest for among the finest blogs on the web. I'll suggest this website!

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

I found your site from altavista and it is eye-popping. Thank you for sharing such an incredible article...

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

Thanks for taking the time to talk about this, I feel fervently about this and I take pleasure in learning about this topic. Please, as you gain information, please update this blog with more information. I have found it very useful. There have to be charging stations everywhere.

I admit, I have not been on this webpage in a long time... however it was another joy to see It is such an important topic and ignored by so many, even professionals. I thank you to help making people more aware of possible issues.Great stuff as usual.

If possible, as you become expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more details? It is highly helpful for me. Big thumb up for this blog post!

I as well think therefore , perfectly written post! .
