"The moment one gives close attention to anything,
even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious,
awesome, indescribably magnificent world itself."
Henry Miller

Through a kind of 'catch
and release' process, my
work captures familiar but
'invisible' textures from
our surroundings and
brings them into the
realm of conscious
attention. The details of
everyday life - captured,
moved forward in time
and space, and released
into precious metals - are
transformed into
wearable art.
