Joel’s creation of jewelry uses storytelling. His method of incorporating phrases, signs, symbols, and metaphors creates a rich tapestry of meaning. It invites the audience to engage deeply, encouraging them to decipher the clues and uncover layers of interpretation. Whether it’s a journey of self-discovery or a quest for treasure, his style evokes a sense of adventure, exploration and personal connection.

Joel (Sargent Pepper) Briggs is one of the Playas most prolific and artistic makers. Each year he produces a variety of pendants based on personal Burning Man experiences. Joel’s language of  Sign, Symbol and Metaphors creates a deep visual story. His use of materials and production methods pushes his Story Telling past the boundaries with the addition of 3D texture and a sculptural feel. Joel also uses precious metals of Gold and Silver to add a status of importance . The Gold and Silver comes from his own mining claim. He blasts out the ore which is then crushed and refined to pure Gold and Silver! His unique pieces are highly treasured by collectors. A pendant of Joel’s appears in Karen (Suki) Christians and Christine (Lady Bee) Kristen book, Jewelry of Burning Man. p75.
