For more than three decades, Northwest artist Nancy Worden has explored the cultural dynamics that shape contemporary social and political agendas, emphasizing the female experience in the United States. Working from her vast knowledge of jewelry’s venerable traditions and forms, she demonstrates a high level of intellectual rigor and simultaneously cultivates a complex engagement with aesthetics and pleasure. Reflecting her passion and personal convictions, her jewelry is forceful, unapologetic, demanding, and gripping. Her jewelry is often humorous and sometimes painful, but her voice is never timid. Loud Bones is the first scholarly examination of Worden’s career. Her work is held in private and museum collections in the United States and Europe.

Loud Bones: The Jewelry of Nancy Worden (Northwest Perspective)

Designed to address the issues of the more than 48 million chronic pain sufferers in the United States, this guide to coping with and overcoming persistent pain examines pain in biological, cultural, and behavioral contexts. The treatment options for arthritis, back and neck pain, angina, diabetes, and other afflictions are outlined and explained, as are the advantages and disadvantages of non-medication-based therapy. Also critiqued are the disparities in quality and quantity of treatments received by African Americans in contrast to those received by the population at large. A diverse list of resources, including pain specialists and clinics, support groups, organizations, and web sites, is also provided.
