Stick Pendant:
Found sticks, cut into gem like shapes. Gem shapes reference something of value, juxtaposed the inherent found/ discarded object. Keeping the wood natural is important to seeing the components for what the really are and perhaps what they are trying to become
Id like to start to design different layouts and connecting mechanisms for the wood pieces, referencing, vintage diamond jewelry of the 18th and 19th century where multiples and decadence is key!
This website sells jewelry but hace a anice layout of the progression of diamond cuts.

In the vain of 18th and 19th century jewelry Filagree is also promenant. Id like to experiment with way to combine these familiar "valued frameworks" that perhaps frame or enhance something that is mundane and forgotten
These cross sections are so interesting to me. All of which came from the same branch but each is unique.
Cement is another material I would like to incorporate with some of my research. Cement as yet another thing that does not hold high value, but is actually quite necessary for living and part of our daily lives ( especially use city folk!) The connection between people, the earth and our surroundings is something I have been doing alot of thinking about, especially my place within that landscape as a woman.
These next pieces are part of my ultra secret powder coating plan and I am very excited about it! All I can say is 99 cent store betta watch out!
The forms in the next two pieces relate to some of the things I was thinking about in the spring, the juxtaposition of natural imagery that we all understand as being realistic and a kin to the landscape and with imagery that toes the line between natural and unnatural.
these pieces use natural objects such as the wood elements in conjunction with the powder coated forms what can allude to a natural object but clearly is fake.
