CONTACT OBJECTS

In this body of work, I am interested in the intimate nature of jewelry and its relation to the immutable human need for closeness and contact. To this end, I investigate the functions of made objects as surrogates for and facilitators of interpersonal contact, as well as intermediaries which separate bodies from one another.
