Description
My work explores the relationships between humans and the natural world through cast and fabricated metal forms. Drawing from found botanicals, animal remains, and other organic materials, I transform ephemeral elements into enduring objects that examine themes of preservation, value, and interconnectedness. Rooted in metalsmithing and jewelry, my practice blurs the boundaries between adornment and sculpture, artifact and specimen. Through processes such as lost-wax casting and fabrication, I preserve delicate traces of nature while reimagining them in metal.
