A witness from inside, I tell a lost truth.

Cradling stolen moments of breath and bearing the weight of memory, my metalwork refers to the center: the core, the spine, the gut, and the heart. Objects and jewelry point to sites on the body to interpret the impossibilities of telling. Like the armor they have become, these works serve as protection and give testimony to the privacy of night. The heartbeats of these memories are transferred into the stillness of the work, and here I learn to breathe again.

Revolving around the study, reference, and reinvention of objects that in any form service the body, I investigate the recurrence of memories and the reappearance of suppressed ones. I mimic these mental currents in my studio, where the repetition of singular silver elements speak louder when amassed into their final material home.

Synclastic forming, forging and fabrication are core processes to the works development. Their procedural processes provide certainty, while the making proves to be the risk. I am focused solely on using sterling silver to communicate their quiet correlation to the body.

Tightly wound knots, forged silver bones, the heart as a shield come together to realize a new way of telling the truth through our bodies.
