Jewelry That Makes You Think.
REVIEW
The Range of Bill Reid's Life and Work
by Carrie Yodanis

To Speak with a Golden Voice, at Bill Reid Gallery, in Vancouver, celebrated the centennial birthday of Canadian jewelry artist Bill Reid (1920–1998). As a jeweler, Reid was trained by traditional Haida carvers and by master European goldsmiths. He made contemporary jewelry and traditional Haida pieces. Eventually, he merged both, creating something new.

“One basic quality unites all of the works of mankind that speak to us in human, recognizable voices across the barriers to time, culture, and space: the simple quality of being well made.” —Bill Reid
