设计说明
我在安大略湖岸边的家，汉密尔顿，一直是钢铁生产中心。尽管钢铁行业在近几十年间逐渐衰落，但其工业活动依然清晰可见。The View from the Pier系列项链审视了这座城市的地理位置，并参考了我在那里长大的时间，以及这个地方对我的影响。
汉密尔顿粗犷的文化特点对我影响很大。棒球棒、金属表演和巴士斗殴都是在重工业的背景下出现的。我家乡的工人阶级精神和态度塑造了我今天的样子——无论是好是坏。
这一系列作品是在形式上是标准意义的首饰，但改变了尺寸规模，以反映我的家乡独特的特点和影响。从首饰代表个性、地位或抵御邪恶的历史功能来说，我的作品是身份的标志。这些让人想起盔甲和盾牌的首饰保护性地放在胸前，给佩戴者的肩膀带来一种安心的重量。表面的氧化物和装饰之下是一些坚固而舒适的东西，就像我的家乡对我来说一样。
