For many years, I’ve made art jewelry;
one of a kind, sculptural pieces which are hand fabricated
with techniques in use for centuries.
Metal is a bit of a beast, but it is also a true mentor,
a friend, and of course a task master.
There is a visceral healing quality to the process of making art
that is inherent in my work.
Recently, I have become curious in approaching and presenting metal in a new ways.
It is paradoxical that within the permanence and structure of metal, it’s fluid.
Within the contrasts and tension there is balance.
There is an internal order that speaks of both strength and vulnerability.
Connection, space and disconnection, the relationships are tenuous,
but contingent on each other.
