My "Aqua Series" is inspired by wave patterns in water and the patterns of raked sand in Japanese gardens. I exploit the transparency and translucency of glass so that the work appears to change color with the clothing on which it is worn. I also use negative space in the work so the fabric becomes part of the composition. I think of this work as "site adaptive" jewelry. In my "Magnification Series", some pieces magnify the weave of the fabric, while in others, like the two in this application, the optics of the glass and the acid polished matte surface cause the design to display subtle shifts of color and light as the brooch is viewed from different angles. My objective is to exploit the fact that jewelry isn't static, but is seen in motion.
