I create jewelry pieces as sculptural objects in dialogue with larger bodies of work, communicating and fostering social connection.
Artist Statement
I create jewelry pieces as sculptural objects in dialogue with larger bodies of work. Photography and social projects, thematically underwritten by a reverence for the natural world, pair with the jewelry to expand social impact. I involve community partners to produce imagery that communicates self-exploration, discovery and self-expression. Every individual piece, each photo or symbol I create is meant to beckon a question of connection. Where do we find connection, how do we foster it, how does it grow?
