Elana's glass pendants combine dichronic glass materials with unique texture, shape and translucency. A sterling silver embedded wire holds a bezel to receive the chain.
Bronze is one of the oldest, most challenging materials used in art, requiring particular skill and precision by the artist. Though cast in highly inflexible material, these pieces rely on the concept of movement and change. A mother's hand, a fertile woman, a stationary gymnast: these pieces reflect on the nature of humanity as experienced through singular, often ephemeral perspectives.
Wood is one of the earth's most mysterious elements. At once rough and fragile, its contours and textures are only revealed under the artist's gentle manipulation. These pieces explore the concept of perception. Different angles, approaches and even moods can reveal complex layers within each shape. Working with and around the wood's natural "split direction", the shape and material of each piece juxtaposes the inevitability of nature with the intention of man.

Women of Prayer
Shrouded in prayer shawls, women pray together in a creation of their own voice and strength. Different colors of the wood were manipulated by the artist to create the contrast between the women and their prayer shawls.
The Cracked One
The women has lost her voice through a crack that begins in the neck, and leads down through her body. The sculpting process revealed a second statue within the first; a face peers out from the heart of the voiceless woman.
Luca
Inspired by the artist's interpretation of Suzanne Vega's song entitled 'Luca'. Here is a battered woman: poised, stoic, accepting and determined.
