Jewelry > Legends

This series of illustrative jewelry is generated from personal fables that often contain animals as central parts of the imagery. When the body becomes part of the composition it animates the work, and I want this interaction to spark creative discussion and dialog. Though the juxtaposition, metamorphosis, and abstraction of representational forms, this work is intended to captivate the imagination.
