jewelry | henrietta, new york

I think of my jewelry as small expressions of art, desire, wit or sensuality. I also see it as small sculptures, implying stories, documenting the time and the emotion in which I live. Each piece is a fragment, presenting the imagination of the mind as well as the story and history of my experience and the making process. I like to explore the abilities of line and pattern, create structure, form and motion. The work is not meant to isolate specific meanings, rather suggest a moment of thought where stillness, beauty and illumination can peacefully coexist.
