Statement:
The differences and similarities between soft natural forms, and harsh straight lines are fascinating. When learning how to cast bronze by vacuum casting, I was constantly pushing the limits of what my molds and wax could do because I enjoyed the experience of working with it so much. I became engrossed in the raw, unrefined structures the wax could produce. Creating jewelry based on cast parts of my body became a theme, as well as experimenting with different geometric patterns and ideas. In the end, I wanted each piece to embody touch and experience – able to be held and enjoyed just as much as worn.
