I create expressive objects of personal adornment that combine imagery, typography, and poetry. My most recent work conveys a sense of altered reality that reflects my experience of the coronavirus pandemic. Rendered in fine silver and gold with traditional chasing and repoussé techniques, the work depicts sculpted figures achieving various states of denial by absurd and sympathetic means.
