Visually my work alludes to structures and objects we have created as a species. Emphasizing construction and surface, I strive to showcase the underlying forms of architectural elements, clockworks, and machine parts. The jewelry I create is reminiscent of the mass production of man, while at the same time, remains unique to my own vision. The resulting dichotomy, that I allude to mass produced machine made objects while making these pieces completely by hand with the bare minimum of hand tools, causes me to continually think about the role of the craftsman within our technologically driven society.
