The female body is an essential subject matter and motivation for my work. The slender collar bones, a curvy waist line, and delicate skin textures compel me to reproduce them primarily in silver and clear resin because of their romantic, pure, and luminant qualities.
My investigations on the beauty of the human form lead my interests to the functional aspects of the body. I was attracted to the integral and numerous functions of the hand. I focus on physical movement and contact, namely interaction and touch. I intend to create jewelry that generates interaction between its wearers and locates the site of the work within those moments of interaction.
I create jewelry that involves participations of public to produce lively experiences for individual participants. My interactive jewelry invites two or more people and let them interact with it. The wearers of the work create a truly impromptu performance while interacting with her work. My work is refined,, elegant, and feminine in aesthetic. I employ curved lines in the design and uses precious metal, sterling silver to accentuate the elegance. My work is more or less intimate and private in that it does not accommodate a large group of people.
