中文简介：

Eveli Sabatie出生于北非，长期以来对美国本土文化和历史有着浓厚的兴趣。1968年，年轻的她离开了巴黎的家，搬到了旧金山，希望能学到更多东西。一次偶然的机会，她遇到了一位霍皮族的传统主义者，并被邀请到亚利桑那州，在那里她向一位美国原住民珠宝制作大师学习。对她来说，这是一个新世界的开始。

艺术永远不能完全脱离艺术家的声音，也不能完全脱离自然世界。当Eveli在亚利桑那州山区漫游时遇到红色碧玉时，她知道她必须将当地的地质学纳入她的作品中。然而，原材料只是Eveli周围世界塑造她的艺术的众多方式之一。本书跟随Eveli的成长、挑战和内部工作，探索了Eveli的作品。

Eveli的珠宝完全由她自己创造，从收集材料到制作主体，再到宝石加工，最后加上石头镶嵌和装饰。她在一个质朴古老的环境中工作，经常选择使用简陋自制的工具而非商业技术。本书通过五个部分探讨了她的创作过程。“旅程”：概述了她在亚利桑那州北部霍皮族保留地的生活，在那里她在Charles Loloma手下当学徒；“云与雨”：探讨了霍皮族和沙漠对她作品的影响；“回家”：更详细地谈论了Eveli与环境的关系；“为人”：通过珠宝对人类进行的哲学研究；“拓展”，介绍了Eveli的其他艺术作品，这些作品受到了世界各地的收藏家的追捧。

这是以珠宝为媒介，对地球的深刻思考。

英文简介：

North African-born Eveli Sabatie had a long-time fascination with Native American culture and history. As a young woman, she left her home in Paris in 1968 to move to San Francisco, hoping to learn more. A chance encounter with a Hopi traditionalist led to an invitation to Arizona, where she apprenticed with a master Native American jewellery-maker. For her, this was the beginning of a new world.

Art can never be fully divided from the artist's voice, nor the natural world. When Eveli encountered red jasper while roaming the Arizona mountains, she knew she had to incorporate her local geology into her work. Yet raw materials are just one of many ways in which the world around Eveli shapes her art. This book is a direct and personal exploration of Eveli's work, following her arc of growth, challenges and internal workings.

Eveli's jewellery is entirely created by her, from gathering material to fabricating the body of the piece, doing the lapidary work and finally adding stone settings and finishings. She works in a rustic, ancient environment, often choosing to use rudimentary and home-made tools over commercial techniques. This book explores her creative process through five sections: THE JOURNEY, a biographical overview of her time at the Hopi reservation in Northern Arizona, where she apprenticed under Charles Loloma; CLOUDS AND RAIN, exploring the influence of the Hopi and the desert on her work; BEING HOME, which talks in greater detail about Eveli's relationship with the environment; BEING HUMAN, a philosophical study of humanity through jewellery; and BRANCHING OUT, which features Eveli's other artworks, which are sought after by collectors from around the world.

This is a profound reflection on the earth, through the medium of jewellery.
