About the artist

Alchemy*Play*Experiment - Goldsmith, silversmith, a smith of all sorts, magick making in sculptural, jewelry, wedding/engagement rings, objects, the teeny tiny and mischief maker. At the core of work & life is experimentation… experimentation w/ matter & spirit, w/ material & self…where the alchemist would take matter; the alchemist must also go, from prima materia to philosopher’s stone, from lead to gold, from here to wisdom…fire, water, air, acid; all the elements transform…then; imprint the self; w/ markers, nail polish, w/ resistance…allow to dissolve, allow chance, allow risk…then; at the right time, the right temperature, that perfect point of transformation…all processes are unique…each a personal & archetypal experience…each piece is unique, capturing the growth of self experimentation.
