MASKS

Using metalsmithing as a platform, I seek to examine themes of memory, loss, perception, and identity. Inspired by intimate feminine forms connected to my childhood, I re-interpret patterns of lace or clusters of flowers into withering leaves or fragmented, melancholic faces. Through the repetitive, meditative process of sawing the metal, I carefully manipulate these “fetishistic” objects to create masks.
