Artist and Jewelry Designer Dana Brock Moves Us Beyond the Limits of Perfection

Host Christopher Miller interviews North Texas jewelry designer and painter Dana Brock on the opportunities presented by perfectionism during the creative process. Dana details how she learned to embrace imperfection in her jewelry design and was surprised to discover customers seeking out those inconsistencies. Dana introduces the ancient Japanese tradition of Wabi-sabi; an aesthetic described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete.” While pursuing imperfection requires vulnerability, the rewards are endless according to Dana. Conversation also includes discussion of Twyla Tharpe’s exploration of hardwired Creative DNA in every artist. Dana participates in the Urban Artist Market and the Millhouse Art-fest. Her work is always presented at the MillHouse ArtBlock in the Cotton Mill, where she keeps a studio under the name, “Dzyn by Dana.” For more information, visit https://www.dana-brock-studio.com and https://www.dzynbydana.comWant to learn more about CJ Miller?
