I am fascinated by the dual nature of jewelry, it is intimately located and publicly presented. Its affect exceeds it scale through its mobility- its moving about in the world.

I explore this distinctive voice of jewelry in its power to both hold personal meaning and instigate social exchange. Interpretation is compelled by virtue of the overt rejection or exaggerated embrace of subjects and forms associated with vernacular jewelry and the site of an individual identity / the body.

My intention is to reflect a sensitivity and purposeful consciousness to both the intimate and social sphere of its wearer / viewer.
