This series by master goldsmith Charles Lewton-Brain (Calgary) speaks to human attempts to control and possess nature.

Charles Lewton-Brain learned and worked in Germany, Canada and the United States. His work is concerned with nature, structure and drawing. His jewelry and research into compositional systems for metal working has been published internationally. He invented and disseminated fold forming, a system of working sheet metal new to the field. He received Canada’s highest honor for Craft, The Saidye Bronfman Governor General's Award. Charles also co-founded the Ganoksin Project with Dr. Hanuman Aspler in 1996, now the world’s largest educational website for jewelers. He has over 1000 pages of his writing there.
