设计说明

为了保护我们免受环境的伤害，编织很快成为一种表达方式和一种通用语言。把缝线连在一起，我试图了解人类的状况。不协调的过渡暗示着力量、自信和力量，而新奇的色彩组合则反映了季节变化、不确定甚至希望的本能感受。通过我的纺织首饰的触觉亲密感，我肯定了我们与大地联系的基本需求。随着我意识的发展，我的联系义务依然存在。

为了寻找宁静，我被反映人类状况的自然事件所吸引：平静、暴力、清新、不透明、温热、宁静。微妙的色彩，五颜六色的地形，一簇簇的金属——所有这些都展现了奇幻的风景和未知的水域。当代护身符出现了。

Created to shield us from the environment, knitting quickly became a form of expression and a universal language. Connecting stitch to stitch, I seek to understand the human condition. Discordant transitions suggest strength, confidence, and power, while novel color combinations reflect visceral feelings of seasonal change, uncertainty, and even hope. Through the tactile intimacy of my textile jewelry, I affirm our primal need to connect to the land. As my awareness evolves, my obligation to connect persists.

Searching for serenity, I am drawn to natural events mirroring human condition: calm, violent, refreshing, opaque, tepid, and tranquil. Subtle colors, variegated terrain, clusters of metal- all reveal fantastical landscapes and uncharted waters. Contemporary amulets emerge.
