Abstract
I am an artist, jeweler, and mapmaker of sorts. I craft three-dimensional, representations
of particular locations using signs and symbols of my own design. I develop
these abstract symbols from the information I gather at each location I investigate. I am
drawn to sites that are often alluring in their majesty, yet I become marveled by what
goes unnoticed, the residue of a peculiar interaction between humanity and the natural
world. I encapsulate these moments into jewelry that functions as a souvenir or aide–
mémoire, allowing the wearer to physically experience my interpretation of the sublime,
creating a transportable, relational understanding of it.
