i used to navigate tricky landscapes, now i create them. 

tinker enough with materials and they lose their original context and pass on to another plane. little pieces can get big ideas like a sustainable future, societal aesthetics, and protection from the hazardous conditions of mining and manufacturing. 

more than a visual accent, jewelry is an intergral part of appearance and wearer identification. I make art jewelry with intent to dismiss complacency and reverse the impact of traditional materials.
