Recent Progress

Not all of my work makes it to my Etsy store, like special orders, experiments and most of my sculptural work. I share the most recent images of my work and explorations on Instagram. More can always be seen on the full Instagram feed.

Some houses and buildings in Interior Alaska start out straight, level and plumb, but over time they succumb to the movement of the ground below them.

In Interior Alaska (and many other places), houses get built on unstable ground, and sometimes houses built on previously stable ground become unstable. Foundations no longer function as a foundations. They move, they succumb to the forces they should be impervious to, they cease to provide stability - for the structures they suport, and the people that live within. 

This piece is personal, rooted in fear, and inspired by the realization that a foundation which effectively anchors a home to the earth is something that shouldn't be taken for granted.

I’ll post more about the idea behind this sculpture once I have some better-lit photos, but I’m excited it’s done.

This summer there have been Ravens roosting nearby This summer there have been Ravens roosting nearby in the woods, and they've been rather chatty when the sun is up. I've also been rereading the Poetic Edda, so Huginn and Muninn that fly the world for Odin have come to mind.

Sterling silver set with lavender chalcedony that is sometimes pale and sometimes stormy, like the sky.

18" sterling silver, 2.7mm oval rolo chain.
The pendant measures 2" x 2".
