ARTIST'S STATEMENT: "I will never look like that."
Usually a phrase which is heard, but most commonly said responding to a billboard.
I am attracted to the role this "billboard" plays in my life. Utilizing metalsmithing techniques and traditional jewelry form, I socially and conventionally reinterpret commercialism through adornment. Rendering each piece non-functional, I seek to express a personal commentary of the marketeers' opportunistic approach to unattainable idealism through ornament.
