Artist statement

This work is about creating volume and mass by combining elements, and exploring the visual rhythms made by repeating a single element. My inspiration comes from the industrial age and its associated mass production techniques, and the industrial landscape and apparatus that characterized this era. These necklaces celebrate modernity.
