Artist Statement
The natural
beauty of stones inspires me. The individual stones tell stories that guide me
in creating a piece of wearable art. The industrial qualities of oxidized metal
next to the magnificence of earth’s raw gems create juxtaposition between the
manmade and the natural.
The latest collection
of body adornment represents the cyclical nature of life—from creation to death
the pieces evolve with the growth and evolution of the materials. Time and
external forces cannot be controlled, but the piece continuously transforms.
The stones remain as permanent reminders of the ones we leave behind, while the
plants and metal continue to deteriorate with time. The stones remain constant
as an unchanging emotional connection the wearer has with the deceased.
