Through contemporary jewelry, my work examines the relationship between the wearer and the boundaries these wearable objects create. These pieces act as narratives that reflect upon various restrictions forcing the wearer, and those around them, to be made aware of their actions' consequences. In addition to creating unconventional one of a kind wearable works, I have a limited production range that plays on the idea of jewelry as heirlooms in relation to family genealogy. Abstracted internal organ-like forms made of precious metal are mixed with glass and mica flakes preserved in resin.
