New Work.
One of a Kind
In Search of Balance/Heart Attack Necklace 2022 This necklace was created as a response to being kicked out of my studio, when a health issue interrupted the summer work time I aggressively protect.
Found and repurposed glass and plated metal pendant. Shell, found hematite dangle. Strung beads: peridot, rose quartz, MOP, amethyst, carnelian, smoky topaz, jadeite, green onyx, marble, unakite, labradorite, tourmaline, freshwater pearls, Larimar, agate, apatite...everything but the kitchen sink. The assortment of beads are arranged in a sequence based on chakra balancing energies the gems are purported to possess. (collection of the artist).
Wilma's Envy
Created for its "chonky" ingredients, Wilma's Envy is about desire and luxurious organicism. A little bit primitive and a little sophisticated, this choker features the artist's whimsy (and humor) driven by large bead gluttony. Forged and fabricated sterling silver toggle clasp. Polished quartz, amethyst, moss agate, citrine, dyed howlite, green onyx, labradorite, shell. 16 inches.
