We enjoy using a common material to make uncommon works. We have chosen to work with anodized aluminum as the basis of our jewelry due to its light weight, strength and array of vibrant colors. Our work expresses balance and asymmetry, based on elements in our lives: family, community, work, care for the environment. Now we have four cats. This piece includes cat food cans as the gold material. We have an abundant supply.
