"What kind of art do you make?"

I never know how to answer this question. How do you describe a combination of festival jewelry, stuff I used in dreams, Christmas ornaments, and translucent glowing brook trout? The jewelry, available in the shop, is a collection of talismans of the forest’s elegant strength. Each piece is shaped by hand with an organic irregularity. 

​

Lately I have been making objects for friends in major life transitions. A beaded collar made with the feathers of a starling killed by an owl. A staff for a couple getting married. 

I also make event-based installation pieces. I make places - a setting in which an experience happens. These pieces are interactive, community-building works that invite participants to let go of the rigid social scripts of accrued interpersonal habits in order to open their hearts to more authentic connections with our human, plant, and animal relations. Think of it is a reset on the default neural networks of our social norms. 

In the meantime, if you keep getting pestered by an object in a dream and you want to make it material but don't know how, I am definitely the person who can help you with that. That's how I learned to make maracas out of trash. Let's talk.
