Artist Statement:
Clean, simple geometric forms are the building blocks of my
designs, which are inspired by architecture, machines, toys
and nature. By combining these seemingly different
influences, I am exploring the concept of jewelry as playful
object.
My present work consists of jewelry with
kinetic elements designed to attract and engage the
attention of the wearer. Pearls or stone settings slide
freely across wires like an abacus, elements spin around an
axis like a propeller, stone settings rock to and fro like a
see-saw. These articulated parts rely on the action of the
wearer for motion. This action can be a simple turn of the
body or a deliberate manipulation of the movable parts. This
kinetic aspect of my work creates an intimate and unique
relationship between jewelry and wearer. My jewelry, by
definition, is not only an object of personal adornment but
also an object of playful interaction. |
