I explore concepts of adornment using adaptive biological forms.
These two pieces belong to my Echinoderm series. The Echinoderm phylum includes all 5-sided ocean organisms, such as sea-urchins and starfish.The larger piece contemplates the corset as sculpting the female body, alluding to Cnidarian forms (Cnidaria are carnivorous Echinoderms such as the jellyfish and the sea anemone).
The smaller piece considers the Swedish bridal crown as an extinct form of culture, alluding to the form of extinct Sea Lily (or Cladida, a group of the Crinoid Echinoderms, all of which were passive feeders).

Please join me at the opening of one of the first San Diego county wide LITTLE AND LARGE, JEWELRY AND SCULPTURE EXHIBITIONS: inspired by the Calder Jewelry exhibition coming to the San Diego Museum of Art.
