Enid Kaplan is a studio jeweler, sculptor and mixedmedia artist who has taught, lectured and exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the US, Canada and Europe. Her work has been published internationally in books and magazines, and is part of the permanent collection of the American Craft Museum in New York City as well as private collections throughout the world. Enid Kaplans jewellery and sculptures are constructed assemblages combining mixed metals with stones, woods, plastics and shells, bones, watch parts or photos. A native of Manhattan, she has traveled extensively throughout her life and these experiences inform all aspects of her artistic expression. An eightmonth journey through remote tribal regions of Southeast Asia, including Borneo and New Guinea, reconnected her to an earlier and more profound function of art, which is to summon the personal and collective journey towards selfrealization. Her works are amulets, tools for rites of passage, for healing, and for communion with the natural world.
