The inspiration for this body of work originally came from honeycombs. I find it quite amazing that anything in nature, specifically bees, can meticulously create such perfect and beautiful forms. The precise geometry eventually became too confining and I started making my own designs based on the honeycomb. I’ve since branched off even further to make work derived from various botanical structures as they would be seen under a microscope. I often find myself making multiple components based on the same idea and I enjoy their repetitive patterns and textures of the different combinations. I individually hand make each part of each piece of my jewelry and am constantly considering and refining their designs.
