By interlacing textiles with jewelry metal
arts, I combine an ancient cloth-making technique with contemporary
materials to create dimensional weave jewelry. The gracefulness
of supple curves and the beauty of geometry are expressed
through undulating forms of metal and monofilament.
My artwork revolves
around the seamless continuity of a circle. The universal
circle offers protection and perfection, while representing
oneness and dynamic balance.
Weaving embodies rhythm
and order. My jewelry is hand-woven using a traditional floor.
The dimensional-weave technique is an arduous and complex
weave structure in which two sets of warps interlace with
two sets of wefts, simultaneously producing two distinct layers.
The myriad combinations
of interlocking strands and intersecting planes drive my exploration
of form. The durability and strength of metal paired with
the luminosity and flexibility of monofilament come together
as multilayered woven adornment.
