"I make structures for the landscape of the human body. My fascination with structure, negative space and with indigenous architecture translates into dimensional and wearable pieces. Frequently I incorporate crystal formations or uncut stones, and thus bring the natural world closer to the wearer."
Alexandra Watkins

"My fascination with nature and with ancient man-made structures is reflected in the narrative quality of my sculptural jewelry. Stonehenge, the remains of cliff dwellings in the southwest, the gnarled roots of a tree, a lichen-encrusted stone wall -- these elements conjure images which appear in my work in abstracted and recognizable forms. Each piece is designed to impart a sense of spontaneity, movement, and complexity. I seek out new influences which challenge and inspire me as an artist -- this growth and evolution resonates in my work."
Nancy Michel
