Kevin Hughes Jewelry and Metalsmithing RISD




Nostalgia has represented my desire to go back to another time and place. Often I feel I would be better suited having grown up in the past. This fascination has led to the creation of this series. I cannot go back in time, but in making I am able to capture fragments of the past. The work is amusing and fun. Highly colorful and simple in design the pieces invoke a cheerful carefree atmosphere.
