The two artists have joined to ask a blacksmith shop in the School of Art, Lamar Dodd, September 16 as a prelude to his next two lectures at the State Botanical Garden.
Both artists have contrasting styles of art, but common themes: the metal, and passion.
Crawford is a sculptor of abstract and functional iron and Pearse is a jewelry designer and assistant professor at the University of jewelry and silverware.
Both steel handles attribute their knowledge to the experience and continuous experimentation and training to forge new art pieces.
"I've never been a believer that sits waiting for inspiration, I think we should go find," said Crawford. "I focus on the beauty of the common object that is often not recognized."
A large part of his inspiration comes an intimate relationship with and understanding of the tools he uses on the metal of his boat, and many of his abstract works is based on common inanimate objects that have changed and sculpted in the biggest part.
The screw made of stainless split of 10 feet, as if by chance the name of Split, is a permanent collection of the Georgia Museum of Art and can be seen beside the road east of campus, and are carved door series honor at the State Botanical Garden of December.
"If I worked with the key, or seen, these marvels of design objects have evolved through trial and error ... I have a lot of associations with these objects, and fortunately most of these things are made of metal," Crawford said. "If I were a baker I would be screwed, I would be making cakes and things that are shaped like a hammer, you do not understand."
Pearse jewelry design emphasizes the sensuality of its fascinating cultural history of jewelry and jewelry for yourself.
"All cultures have needs and wants and decorative body is a kind of decoration," he said.
His vision of what jewelry means that everyone is a dominant factor in his work.
"We looked at the body as a landscape ... depends on where in the body takes in terms of what it means," said Pearse. "For me, it seems that everyone has a story that comes with her jewels."
Pearse work can be seen as an offbeat gem: it combines skill games for children and sensual images of women's mouths and bodies into rings and pins to create a jewelry line in stimulating and interactive series of girls games.
If pushing the production of steel abstract sculptures and jewelry designs with the nuances of body and mind, Pearse Crawford and plan to share their work and knowledge with others.
"I realized there were things he could teach others to do so, and allows me to do more work to do in my shop to create the chain of creativity," said Crawford. "This is one piece and if this is how creativity works, it is best to speed things up."
