The Lost Ring Project was an interactive work created as a performance piece. The entire performance was based on happenstance - the chance a person would find one of my handcrafted rings, improperly stamped 14 karat gold. When polished the ring imitated gold, almost flawlessly. These rings were strategically scattered in high profile areas in various cities, with the hopes of their return. Individuals needed to find not only the ring, but also find one of my posters/ads asking for its return, then initiate contact with me, a complete stranger. The work was an attempt to extend contact between me and the world, moving my art into the community, thus pushing the limits of the art audience. This radical departure enabled me to move my practice away from traditional museums and galleries, bringing both client and venue into a critical mass - the general public.
