“Expansion”
76” x 35” x 17”

From the moment we are born, the world tends to have a container already built for us to fit inside: A social security number, a gender, a race, a profession or an I.Q. I ponder if we are more defined by the container we are in, rather than what we are inside. Would we recognize ourselves if we could expand beyond our bodies?  Would we still be able to exist if we were authentically ‘un-contained’?

“Conception”
34” x 8” x 10”

Spiritual inspiration will always remain a mystery. The fabric becomes a graceful light of energy lifting her upwards in a dream state or safely delivering her back to consciousness. The fabric surrounds her and cradles her with love and hope as she gives herself up to faith. Conception is miraculous. Whether it is the conception of child or the conception of an idea, it comes to us when the moment is right.

“Freedom Bound”
21” x 28” x 12”
46” x 65” x 42”

A relationship is merely a series of threads woven by two people. Eventually an entire tapestry can wrap us together and become a foundation. Yet, as we grow together we must also grow independently. Freedom Bound is about stretching the ties that we weave to remain individuals. We can spread our wings and a metamorphosis begins. A bind often begets the desire for freedom, and freedom often begets rebirth.

“The Time Traveler’s Wife”
necklace
15” (adjustable to 20”)
vintage watch parts

We where inspired by the magical book of Audrey Niffenegger The Time Traveler’s Wife.

The Time Traveler’s Wife is the extraordinary love story of Clare and Henry who met when Clare was six and Henry thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-two and Henry thirty. Impossible but true, because Henry suffers from a rare condition where his genetic clock periodically resets and he finds himself pulled suddenly into his past or future. In the face of this force they can neither prevent nor control, Henry and Clare’s struggle to lead normal lives is both intensely moving and entirely unforgettable.

The gorgeous necklace itself is mainly made with vintage watch movements, parts and faces. Clare is deeply mixed up with the time, the little face is handmade of polymer clay.
