Collection concept:

I am interested in the ways in which human beings communicate and interact. We use our senses to interpret and distill our relationships with others, both effectively and ineffectually. In this collection of jewelry I use funnels, connections, reflective surfaces and lenses to speak to different types of human relationships. Several of the brooches in this collection are made to adorn a single body where some are made to adorn two bodies. The set of three brooches titled We Came Apart(Together) speaks to the fluctuations of human relationships, perpetually dividing and merging.
