Artist Statement:
I have two goals for my jewelry: one, to be distinctively
contemporary and two, to be accessible. I want my work with
granulation to be contemporary and not solely based on
historical examples of granulation. I use oxidized
(blackened) silver, minimalist shapes, architectural
structures, and even non-traditional materials with 22kt
yellow and white gold granulation. I thrive in the dichotomy
between this ancient surface decoration called granulation
and a contemporary aesthetic and use of materials. By
combining contemporary materials such as oxidized silver,
argentium® or steel with gold granulation the price is more
affordable. Art should be accessible to more than just the
very wealthy. |
