Each of my production pieces has been designed with attention to detail, from the simple pierced out rings to the multilayered ring bands with their layered acrylic disks. The colors of the acrylic are clear and subtle to allow for an interesting interplay at the edges. All lines display a clear geometry which is accented by the fact that it is ever so slightly irregular.

Inspiration

The world around me inspires me- this can be something I heard on the radio or something I see while walking down the street. This often leads to a certain shape which then represents the core theme of what I'm making. All pieces follow that initial theme and present themselves as variations. Then there are concepts I like to explore- these are somewhat different in as much as they reside within me and represent a condensation of life experiences, rather like something I might want to write a book about had I that talent. In fact, the development of one of those pieces often involves a sketch with a lot of writing about its current state to distill its essence which points to the direction it will morph into next. Although I see my work as constantly evolving there are certain features that remained constant: my pieces tend to have a evanescent quality to them, involving multiple solder points with 30 gauge wire or hairnet pieces formed with the mere whiff of a flame.
