A presentation of 30 pendants at Gallery Lulo in Healdsburg, California, October 2010.
This collection was made in the months before my 40th birthday, and it was a moment of transition on many fronts, the most significant being my search for a place to live and work in San Francisco. I fixated on the notion of the Hive as a home, and with that theme in place, I let myself be completely free with my materials, using gold, silver, wood, steel, stone and enamel, treating them all as equal in preciousness and potential. I engraved, carved, burned, painted, etched and fabricated my way to a series of objects which had only their form in common.
