STATEMENT
Our mission is to create sustainable, modern accessories with a focus on contemporary design for the modern person. The use of hypoallergenic materials and forward-thinking design is at the heart of our mission to create future heirlooms that transition from artwork that can be worn on the body or adorn the wall.
Using sterling silver and gold fill tubing with nylon-coated steel wire as fiber; small segments are hand formed to create geometric shapes that are lightweight, flexible, and adapt to the wearer. Geometric shapes were chosen as the foundation because they are simple, basic, and elementary but can be expounded on to create multi-dimensional forms. Each form acts like a link to interconnect with other forms creating an even larger metal tapestry. The resulting pieces are extremely light, web-like structures that have glints of precious metal connectors amongst the flexible metal cabling.
