Eric Silva creates hand crafted,
one of a kind adornments with which he
thoughtfully intermixes metals with
organic materials such as found antler
and recycled wood.

Silva simultaneously expresses his
Native American roots and the modern
world that surrounds him. The
effortlessness of his designs make
them easy to wear yet are imbued with
a deep and symbolic connection to
the ancient.

Call to Artists! Bridge Gallery will pay homage to Marcel Duchamp in an exhibition opening May 13, 2011. The show will feature self portraits created using found objects or assemblage to explore the designation of an object/s as art by an artist and also, how an artist may identify the self with a found, non-representational object/s.

Submissions must include quality photos and a short paragraph explaining how the work functions as a self portrait. Please also include title, dimensions, and a general artist's statement/website. Please put information together in one file (i.e. pdf, word, etc). Deadline is April 8, 2011. Submit by email at : gus@gallerybridge.com or by mail to : 2202 South Halsted Street, Chicago IL 60608.
