Rainbow Choker. Sterling Silver. Fabricated, Bezel-set, Epoxied. 2020
Pieced together with the patience of tides. Fabricated from sterling silver and hand-picked, unaltered bows of iridescent abalone, the piece created itself the more time I spent wandering the rocky shoals and tidal pools of the northern California coastline. No abalone was altered or harmed in the creation of this piece- each individual bow has been broken and worn down by the sea itself.
Abalone Charm. Brass. Fabricated. 2019
Abalone is said to reflect evil & misfortune in the mystery of it’s shimmering nacre. This piece is fabricated of brass and meant to be hung over or facing a doorway or a window. All abalone was preserved as I found it, worn into deliciously irregular shape and pieced together as if from a singular creature.
