Keith Lo Bue is an American artist jeweller who makes work from found objects and is referred to as a “stuffsmith”.
He creates jewellery by assembling once vital objects. He uses a vast arrangement of bits and pieces. Materials range from dead animals, and tools as well as a selection of abandoned artifacts.
He is drawn to details of objects as well as detritus of natural and cultural history. He creates what he describes as a type of visual poetry.
He also describes his work as pieces that connect the wearer with other times and places.
Although he does not refer to bricolage as a distinct characteristic in his work, his vast use of objects to create works, tend to deal with the same working process as a bricoleur.
