Abstract
In creating fictional relationships with organisms within the plant world, I design jewelry and wearable sculptures that heal the individual, by relating to the poetic and peaceful nature of plants. The works involve the use of metal crochet, forging, screen printing, and fabric dying to create my relationship with plants, through narrative, and nostalgic stories. These stories between me and plants began in my childhood and continue to this day.
