the mirror

In my art jewelry practice, I harness the dual forces of imagery and text from the historical record to intuitively craft a dream-like visual language in glass and metal that embraces the mind and imagination as a powerful mythopoetic tool for critical thinking, sentience and change. The method I work with transforms random imagery and text from the far-to-recent past into miniature multi-nuanced and overlapping frescos of meaning that speak to the collective unconscious realm that we all share.
My narrative mechanical lever-operated amulets extend an invitation to the viewer to become a magician for a moment, an alchemist in reverie, a shaman dreaming a new world. They function as a bridge between the physical, material realm and the invisible, unseen and mysterious territory of the mind.
It is a very sacred game we are playing here on earth. My pieces can function as a touchstone, a cairn, a talisman- for soul retrieval, for awakening, for the journey back to remembering.
