Amenda Tate

Amenda is a jewelry designer and metalsmith that individually handcrafts each piece in her Colorado studio.

Her works are contemplations, entertaining the idea that objects can be both organic in form and relation as well as mechanical in a functional format: adornment.

These contemplations materialize as wearable jewelry with a sculptural presence. Thses pieces strive to balance dichotomy: organic/mechanical, inherent/industrial, expected/unpredictable, variety/repetition, simple/complex. Amenda creates alliterations in metal that possess a rhythmic quality in form. Influenced by the artwork of Joan Miro, Alexander Calder, Pablo Picasso, and Fernand Leger these pieces are art you can wear.
