Artist Statement:
Creating an object to be worn
on the body is an intimate
process. The energy that I
put into each piece mingles
with the energy of the wearer.
My expression becomes the
wearer’s and entices the
viewer to become a part of
that relationship as well.
Through these interactions and
connections jewelry takes on a
life of its own and creates a
unique dialogue.
Inspiration for my work comes
from observation of the world
around me. I am drawn to both
organic forms and man-made
structures, found in
architecture and industrial
design. I explore the
delicate balance between these
two worlds and incorporate
these ideas into my jewelry.
By juxtaposing natural
elements such as feathers with
geometric forms like acrylic
cubes, I create dynamic
relationships within my
pieces.
Materials also serve as a
source of inspiration and
guide me in the design
process. Sterling silver is
not only attractive, but also
exceptionally strong,
malleable and ductile. These
properties allow the metal to
respond well to the various
techniques I employ. I often
incorporate other materials
into my jewelry as well.
Visually, sterling silver is
clean and bright and contrasts
nicely with the matte surface
of the acrylic elements...
