| Introduction | I have been told that one definition of art is creating order out of chaos. I am a gold and silver smith. I have been an artist at Eastern Market trading under the name Turtle's Webb in Washington, D.C. since 1991. "This is my story, this is my song..." _________________________________ James Balwin "One writes out of one thing only — one's own experience. Everything depends on how relentlessly one forces from this experience the last drop, sweet or bitter, it can possibly give. This is the only real concern of the artist, to recreate out of the disorder of life that order which is art." --from "Autobiographical Notes" (1952) |
