I once lived in rural New England where I was surrounded by farms and nature. In the springtime, poplar trees bloomed and turned the streets into pure magic. White fluffs danced through the air for days only to land amongst vultures pulling apart entrails, squirrels outrunning hawks, or foxes and the like trying to outrun us. My jewelry is inspired by this coexistence of life and death within nature, and the fluidity of beauty and decay resulting from it.
