Playing with Metals

I have previously crafted jewelry using wire inspired by cultural and natural sources, including the Padaung tribe, known for their brass-coiled neck jewelry. My design aims to convey beauty without causing harm, using pearls and gold-colored wire to represent the principle of "less is more."

The Beauty of Pearls - Neckpiece, 2018 copper wires, pearls, 6 x 6 in.
The Beauty of Pearls - Bangle 2018 copper wires, pearls, 4 x 2 in.
The Fallen Leaves, 2018 silver, 1.9 x 3 in.
The Blossom, 2018 copper wires, freshwater pearl, 2 x 2 in.

As I work with wires, I strive for a clean and minimal look. I use the interplay of light and shadow to create new pieces, starting with a geometry wire art piece and using its shadow to inform the design of the next. This process is repeated to create a series of works.

Exploring Design Possibilities

To further refine my techniques, I began incorporating computer-aided design (CAD) into my design process. This has allowed me to build upon my earlier work, which consisted of basic geometric shapes, and create more intricate designs.

​

By experimenting with different combinations of these shapes, I have generated an array of captivating renderings.
