The spirit of creative reuse I employ in my practice aims to address the economic and environmental impact perceived preciousness has within the field of jewelry. Whether spotted on the street, culled from a dusty shelf in a thrift shop, or rescued from waste streams, the potential preciousness of my materials are purely subjective. My role is to transform materials such that the question of intrinsic preciousness is obsolete, and replaced by a sense of curiosity and wonder.
