"Through collage and found objects,
I strive to create what I call modern relics. I use insect
wings, feathers, torn pages from old books, and combine them
with contemporary materials. I'm also interested in interactivity
with my jewelry. I achieve this by using moving parts through
encasing bits that move freely, attaching metal by magnetic
force, and incorporating games such as mazes using ball bearings
or the moving of metal shavings with magnetic wands. I'm often
either taking an old idea and making it new, or using something
new, and through abuse and patinas, making it look old."
Prices range from around $20 to $400.
