About

I love how poetic and magical jewelry can be. I chose jewelry as my main medium for that specific reason. While earning MFA degree, my thesis was on the power of objects; an ability to evoke some sort of response or change in our minds. How it can connect to your memory, belief, faith, etc. It doesn’t have to be anything complicated, but just to change your mood by looking at objects that are special to you. I thought the best way to explore this idea was through something portable and wearable, and that is jewelry.

Combining my background in fine arts and metalsmithing, I design and handcraft jewelry and small objects. I find beauty in things that are simple, subtle, unobtrusive, asymmetrical, irregular, imperfect, impermanent and incomplete. Things that takes time, a quiet mind, and a deep understanding to discern them.

ジュエリーの持つ、詩的で、身につけた時に魔法がかかるような感じがとても大好きです。とても小さな物なのにその中には歴史、思い出、いろんな物が詰まっていたり、時にはお守りの役目も果たしてくれたり。そんな奥深いジュエリーの魅力に魅せられて、ひとつひとつ手作業で製作しています。
