artist statement

From the very first time I sat down at the jeweller’s workbench, I was hooked. I fell immediately in love with the goldsmith’s craft–the techniques, and the tools–many of them passed down through generations. I enjoy exploring these traditions through the custom of personal adornment – a practice which spans thousands of years in human history. I choose to forge and fabricate each piece–so that no two will ever be exactly alike. There’s something undeniable and intimate about the process of transforming metal into a wearable object, one that can be a receptacle for time, space, and memory.
