I enjoy observing the interplay of textures in nature — moss on a jagged rock, soft buds on a branch — that so often go unnoticed. At home I keep a collection of natural elements gathered on walks in the woods, collected from the seaside, and discovered on trips to foreign lands. These details and contrasts become the central element of my jewelry — textures distilled from memory. The proportion and texture are finalized during the wax carving process, making each ring slightly different, as if it had grown rather than been carved.

The weight of my pieces provides a strong tactile presence. When I make earrings, necklaces or bracelets, I tend to come back to the circle both for its simplicity and for its strength. I like the idea of my jewelry being not only adornment, but also a statement, a shield for the wearer or a little sculpture for the hand.
