Artist Statement
There are usually two sides to every thing. “Every gray cloud has a silver lining”. My collection focuses on John Milton’s metaphor for optimism in the abstract. I am using primarily recycled sterling in this collection to give a nod to this paradox. Using silver and stones, meaning is infused in the creations that can attract the wearer who may have experienced a similar story. I have encouraged the faculty and students of SilverWorks to interpret this theme with their works as well.
