The work I'm presenting for this holiday sale reflects two key aspects of my jewelry practice: complex pierced pieces and etched people.

At the core of my work is an exploration of multiplicity. We often think that everything is in a state of being, but in reality, everything is in a state of becoming β€” a constant state of flux. This idea of fluidity inspires my work.

In my pierced pieces, movement plays a crucial role. In fact, when it’s stagnant it's incomplete. My etched people upon being seen evoke stories and personalities, transforming the 20ga metal into something with a life. With both bodies of work there is no fixed way of seeing a single piece of my work, be it literal or conceptual sense.

This sense of transformation carries through into the holiday sale pieces. The kinetic pierced work translates into long, flowing earrings that move with the wearer, while the etched people are miniaturized, and can be carried around with you, making your adventure part of theirs.
Each piece is designed to exist in a state of flux, capturing the essence of change and multiplicity in everyday wear.
