My work has an overarching theme around the conflicting forces between humans and the natural world and the way each fights for dominance over the other; in particular, the ways in which man-made structures are affected by time and neglect. 

My current focus is on abandoned architectural structures. Drawn in by these forgotten places, once filled with life, but now reduced to crumbling façades of what they used to be. Formerly a place of shelter, but now boarded up and on the verge of collapse.

By reinterpreting these architectural forms into the intimate scale of jewelry I hope to create a sense of preciousness that disrupts perceptions by transforming them into the something that needs sheltering. Emulating an environment in which they must be cared for in order to retain their ability to function for their intended purpose. Through the wearing, the body becomes the support that holds them up and creates a space for interaction, which their counterparts are no longer able to sustain.
