Statement
I create work in relationship with specific places. By collaborating with my surroundings, I reveal rich aspects of each location. I had participated in artistic residencies in the Canary Islands (SP), Seville (SP), and Iles de la Madeleine (CA) where I discovered my interest in working with local materials such as basalt, cork, and salt.I use materials that have a smaller environmental footprint, choosing either natural (wood, salt, wax), recycled (plastic, metals, fabrics), or found objects. I do not hesitate to use delicate or ephemeral materials in some of my jewelry. I favor a project approach with each piece using materials, often non-traditional to jewellery, to create a common theme.
Although I instinctively approach the material using techniques from jewellery, no material is excluded. I create without constraint; the process is as important to me as the final result. While the jewel created can be friable, over-sized, or over-weight, it is still meant to be worn.
