Simple, exquisite materials, metal and light. The beautiful rawness of brass, copper, aluminum and steel. Precious metals that are made more so as they are marked and drawn upon. Pierced, altered, cherished, cut, pondered, textured, polished and revealed.

This series explores transformation, our ability to experience life events, from amazing to devastating. How we choose to allow them to mark us, with grace and light, or not, or somewhere in the middle. How spaciousness, people, new adventures, mysteries of unexplored stillness and these markings can lead to a complete 360 change in our perceptions... full circle.
