My pieces of work stem from manual processes of handmade manufacturng, using traditional techniques such as lamination, filigree, reticulation, and repousse. Beyond the craftsmanship of objects, studying and identifying the essential elements of various techniques guides each pieces to its final form. These pieces play off of many themes, including the observation of places, human expressions, shapes, colors and materials research. My designs reflect my personal understanding of space and the relationship between jewelry and the body.
