the pieces you find in this shop originate in thoughts, feelings, ideas - universals that become very personal as we go through different experiences... as a culture that is constantly stimulated (thereby becoming overstimulated) in both auditory and visual ways, it can become easy to lose touch with ourSelves and what we are about... the work here strives to serve as talismans or touch stones that can assist you in getting re-centered...
i work from raw materials - metal sheet and wire, enamels, resin, paper, fibers... and do all of the techniques myself... gemstones with specific metaphysical properties in mind are chosen to enhance energy... the result is work that is personal, one-of-a-kind and imbued with intention that i hope you can pick up on...
i have opened a shop with my components in it for those who like to make their own wearable art:
speakingyourtruth.etsy.com...
new pieces are often featured on my blog with their stories explored in depth... i rely upon flickr to catalogue my work...
