My current work is very much about the metal itself; it’s color, malleability, & form. Many times I go straight to the metal & begin to build. I work predominantly in sterling silver & use oxidation & a matte finish on my pieces to enhance the layers & details created through forming, hammering, riveting & soldering. Every aspect of the piece is taken into account, from the smallest to the largest detail.Simple forms such as circles, ovals, triangles & squares repeat themselves within this body of work as they build upon each other & from each piece grows another. These forms may be simple, but they create a feel that is familiar yet unique & timeless.
