I create wearable work that explores intimacy and human connection within our environment. My work is based on natural forms that are delicate and flourish parts of the body that reflect an emotional response. Each piece examines different kinds of communication between people, from hands reaching out to one another, to ornamental forms concealing or amplifying an emotional response of the wearer.
