Imagine a springtime breeze, the sound of trees, and a helicopter seedpod spun down from a giant maple, weaving her way around your finger, beginning to dance and sprout right there, on your body, in your eyes… that is this dream, this ring.
In a practice of collecting and sharing stories from the edges of the shadows -late night shadows that form through the blinds and streetlights when we cannot sleep, midday shadows found when we lay beneath the trees- I trace organic lines in pencil and pigment then bring these drawings to life in wax. Layering lines of sustainably-harvested beeswax I build sculptural forms, then carve back into them, a process honoring time and change. Ethically cast in recycled sterling silver, bronze, and gold in the traditional lost wax process, these “Pieces From The Garden” ask us to imagine a world where we walk harmoniously with all life.
