I read Michelle Wermuth's discussion in Newbies Central with great interest. I am about to apply to my first juried show and am struggling with choosing my pieces to submit. I design/craft jewelry. Many of my designs are strung. I understand that there are those who do not consider stringing to be art and I don't want to argue that point here. I also have designs crafted of wire - bent, twisted, wrapped, coiled, hammered, etc. My gut tells me to include a variety of styles, to show the range of my work. But from what I've read on Michelle's convo, that could confuse jurors. But am I misrepresenting myself if I only submit one style? Especially when applications state that submissions should represent your body of work?
Thank you in advance for any input.
