Additional Information

My background as a jewelry artist has fostered a curiosity about the influence of scale on the experience of a work of art. After working on a playground design this past summer, a much different scale from jewelry design, I began to imagine all of my works as climbable structures. The concept is often the same for me at different scales but the experience and interaction with the piece is different and I am excited about developing my work with this shift in scale.
