My practice is rooted with the body and its relationship to physical objects. Traditionally trained in jewelry and metals, I continue to use the position of adornment as a source to think through ideas of body, production, labor, value, and memory. Working across disciplines, I utilize a variety of materials and methods that culminate with wearables, sculptures, installations, and participatory projects.
