Chris Cook
Chris Cook works primarily in silver and gold Native set jewelry, but that only begins to describe the incredibly precise and fluid pieces he creates.
In their own words (transcript)
It for me comes from the idea of spirituality where you have form and you have formlessness, and form comes out of the formlessness. Formlessness is not emptiness; it’s a thinking, un-manifest, chaotic soup that’s all around us. And when we think of an idea, or have a desire, or something, it goes into that place of formlessness and manifests it out of that place. 
Spirituality, for me, is moving from that experience of feeling separate from everything, to feeling unified with everything. That’s how I broke it down. So through this process of doing the art form, that’s what I’ve learned, is that, the art form and spirituality and a good life, the destiny, is moving from the place of feeling separate from everything, to being unified with everything.
