Jewlery Design    

Description        
In my work, I emulate drawing, carving and chiseling methods
to investigate the dynamics between form, weight,
materiality and iconology.

Creative Approach

Deconsting semantics My preliminary studies deconstruct the original semantics of my references, reinterpreting them through successive iterations of drawing and carving until they are reduced to their essential symbolic and structural form. 

These studies guide me into establishing a vocabulary for my forms who will later be sculpted into final models.
