"A self-described recluse, Brush is a goldsmith who also works with
steel and aluminum, a painter, sculptor, poet and polymath, as well
as an inveterate notebook keeper. And it is the addition of so many
pages of those notebooks, along with hundreds of striking
photographs of his work, that make this book so stunning, thought
provoking and evocative." -THEADVENTURINE.COM
"Somewhere between sculpture and jewelry, the artist's creations
act as a vehicle for Brush to contemplate philosophy,
existentialism, and Asian thought. Whether through treasured
gemstones like amber-which holds significance in Indian myth and
ritual-or the shape of a circle-a universal symbol of
eternity-Brush imbues his creations with a sense of spirituality
that borders on talismanic." -CR FASHION BOOK.COM
"The focus of the book is jewelry, but it is also a portrait of
Brush and the creative journey that is his life." -LINKED IN
