But at the end of the day, they wish to build in me a temple to themselves, not to God. I have no intention of giving an exclusively male-governed institution jurisdiction over my female body, and I do not think that a human or deity who loved me would demand that of me. 14” x 3” x 3”, brass; die formed, pierced, fabricated, etched https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e2ae1ad1758e214435f5cf/58f6ae2ac534a5c049fdc002/5ea334e01f69c16c65fef600/1587768100099/ Gallery - Second Home 6” x 4” x 3 1/2”, copper, fabric, thread; formed, fabricated, embroidered https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e2ae1ad1758e214435f5cf/58f6ae2ac534a5c049fdc002/5ea3343b81e75f26b2145bce/1587768100109/EJF2.jpg Gallery - Anti-Fertility Talisman 9” x 9” x 1/2”, brass, copper, enamel; handmade universal joints, enameled, fabricated, lathe turned https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e2ae1ad1758e214435f5cf/58f6ae2ac534a5c049fdc002/5ea3473989d63051b8155d2f/1587768100162/Skybusting+or+the+Silent+Killer.jpg Gallery - Skybusting or the Silent Killer Sternum ornament 3" x 5" x 7"; sterling silver, fine silver, copper, brass, enamel; champlevé, die formed, pierced, riveted, shot https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e2ae1ad1758e214435f5cf/58f6ae2ac534a5c049fdc002/5ea348800c26617ed3815ec5/1587768100097/EJF6.jpg Gallery - Bug-Eyed 5 1/2" x 9" x 2"; copper, bronze, sterling silver, polycarbonate; pierced, roller formed, cast, soldered, tap and die threaded https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e2ae1ad1758e214435f5cf/58f6ae2ac534a5c049fdc002/5ea36084b3bedd38f9617639/1587768100097/Identity+Crisis+combined+copy.jpg Gallery - Identity Crisis 6" x 8" x 4"; fine silver, copper, brass, enamel, fabric, thread, sewing notions; pierced, roller formed, cast, soldered, tap and die threaded https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e2ae1ad1758e214435f5cf/58f6ae2ac534a5c049fdc002/5ea369fb43e9054954f7da21/1587768100110/EJF12.jpg Gallery - Identity Crisis (outfit 2) 6" x 8" x 4"; fine silver, copper, brass, enamel, fabric, thread, sewing notions; pierced, roller formed, cast, soldered, tap and die threaded https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e2ae1ad1758e214435f5cf/58f6ae2ac534a5c049fdc002/5909064d1e5b6c770b6469c7/1587768100099/Emily+Fruth+3.jpg Gallery - Grandma's Stargazer Lilies 10” x 10” x 1/2”; copper, enamel, thread; enameled, pierced, formed, cold connected https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e2ae1ad1758e214435f5cf/58f6ae2ac534a5c049fdc002/5909067737c581454e276524/1587768100131/Emily+Fruth+1.jpg Gallery - The Nature of the Beast 9” x 5” x 1/2”; brass, copper, enamel; champlevé, pierced, cold connected, soldered https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e2ae1ad1758e214435f5cf/58f6ae2ac534a5c049fdc002/590906b7f7e0ab2f59bc043c/1587768100276/Emily+Fruth+8.jpg Gallery - Call Me Unladylike One More Time... 5” x 8” x 1”; copper, enamel, found objects; hand threaded mechanisms, pierced, enameled, fabricated https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e2ae1ad1758e214435f5cf/58f6ae2ac534a5c049fdc002/5ea348aa33b43a7bfa72f950/1587768100288/EJF9.jpg Gallery - Home Always Did Look Better in Photographs 5” x 7” x 1”; fine silver, copper, brass, enamel, found objects; champlevé, photo decal, enameled, handmade tube-in-tube pin catch, riveted, soldered https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e2ae1ad1758e214435f5cf/58f6ae2ac534a5c049fdc002/5ea348e933b43a7bfa730a40/1587768100476/EJF11.jpg Gallery - Gumbo in Jackson Square 16" x 1" x 1/8"; sterling silver, copper, brass; pierced, forged, riveted, hammer textured https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e2ae1ad1758e214435f5cf/58f6ae2ac534a5c049fdc002/590906c3ebbd1a19441f3e10/1587768100297/Emily+Fruth+9.jpg Gallery - Cabbage Rose's Magic Paintbrush 9” x 1.5” x .5”; sterling silver, copper, found object; formed, fabricated, chased. https://www.ejfmetals.com/about-the-artist daily 0.75 2020-04-24 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e2ae1ad1758e214435f5cf/t/58f6c962b8a79b4369181e3f/1587755568573/IMG_20160911_192640522_HDR.jpg About the Artist - Emily J. Fruth was raised on a popcorn farm in a small village in Northwest Ohio. After spending two years in Indiana as a painting major, she returned to Ohio and began taking metalsmithing classes at BGSU. Emily possesses a pervading sense of empathy, overwhelming curiosity, a propensity for introspection, a deep need for exploration, and somewhat compulsive cleaning habits. She is heavily influenced by her readings, her adventures, her history, and her loved ones. Whereas many people have skeletons in their closets, Emily has soapboxes in hers. Ask her enough questions, and you’re sure to uncover a few of them. In her extremely limited free time, she enjoys blues dancing, swing dancing, reading, singing, sewing, hiking, camping, baking, watching musical theatre productions, listening to “nerd music”, living vicariously through other people’s cats, and dressing up as though she just walked out of a bygone decade. https://www.ejfmetals.com/curriculum-vitae daily 0.75 2020-04-21 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e2ae1ad1758e214435f5cf/t/591a0bee3e00bef035d0aaad/1494879248532/ Curriculum Vitae - CURRICULUM VITAE ... https://www.ejfmetals.com/contact daily 0.75 2017-04-19 https://www.ejfmetals.com/artist-statement daily 0.75 2020-04-21 https://www.ejfmetals.com/home daily 1.0 2017-05-12 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58e2ae1ad1758e214435f5cf/t/5914fb7ae4fcb5bd4f5be125/1494547339138/Emily+Fruth+4.jpg Home
