In this most recent body of work I am incorporating the enamel technique of Champlevé. Utilizing etched copper patterns, I will hand manipulate the surfaces, choosing to expose a more ordered or complete pattern in some pieces and an almost unrecognizable, withered, fragile, or torn pattern in others. Often looking at forms that are tenuous, layered, frail, yet complex and resilient much like our own physical bodies, I often find visual metaphor regarding the seemingly fragile, yet innate ability of the human body as a vessel to endure or sustain.
