 Intimate. Simple. Natural.
The Koi and Wabi Sabi collections are cousins to my original gold mokume gane.
The collections incorporate metals that I've used before, but in a new way.
Unlike my mokume gane pattern work, the Koi patterns are uncontrolled and have
an Impressionistic quality that invites the wearer to interpret the imagery.
Wabi sabi is the Japanese art of unconventional beauty. The Wabi Sabi patterns
are deeply etched and patinated to bring out their earthy beauty.
