Unfinished knots and loops, methods of connection that bind physically and emotionally; these are the foundations in which I think of my jewelry.

In the space between my hands, a language is assembled. The language of beauty, movement, process, and technique. The jewelry created is then held in a state of tension. Individual pieces are made, unmade, and remade to capture the truth of my chosen material, sterling silver. The jewelry bears the marks of their making, seams highlighted or hidden by color and finish. Every distortion and fragment is carefully reconnected, while each alteration or error is openly revealed. In a world of invented languages, these pieces of jewelry act as vessels for self-expression, reflecting the way individuals might construct themselves. Through binding itself to the wearer, the body becomes the landscape and location for personal history while the jewelry becomes the history of that landscape.
