Hand fabricated using techniques such as roller printing and wire soldering.
Making an earring is an opportunity to create a small still life. These earrings attempt to capture a moment in nature. The Posy earrings' flowers are fading, but are lent an indefinite lifetime through the qualities of metal. The Cote Sauvage earrings reference the preserved west coast of France, where the windswept dunes give way to the ocean. Each represents different periods of the artist's life.
Through techniques such as roller printing, engraving and stone setting in sterling silver, these pieces are assembled with a sense of intuition and memory.
