finally i am getting these images

this is one of the works that i produced for the Radical Jewelry Makeover when they came to Boone. The purpose of their movement is to recycle old jewelry and give it a contemporary revival. the below work is comprised  of costume jewelry mostly including these materials- plastic, wire, pot metal , stone, plastic...plastic. pot metal. i had fun!

early stages of some up coming work...

in the middle stages of development yes, but in april i will be installing a show in the Turchin Center in boone alongside my peers in the 2013 BFA show. this is a shot of some of the sketches and various works i have currently in progress. my work for this series is based on the idea of innocence lost, confronting the various elements relative to the subject including self image, the early development of biases, gender dynamics, etc. also, all works will be more 3 dimensional than i have worked before, there will even be a pedestal piece. i'll keep posting as these works develop more.
