Artist’s Statement
As a child I loved miniatures. Anything miniature – from tiny boxes, to intricate dollhouses, to detailed figurines – precious, tiny objects found untouched on the shelves of dusty curio cabinets. I would collect these small treasures, organize, and display them in shadow boxes; the compartments within gave each trinket a sense of significance.
This childhood fascination with miniatures has manifested itself in my work. Using techniques such as wax-carving, lost-wax casting, enameling, and fabrication I strive to achieve this same sense of preciousness in my jewelry.
