FreeFold Forms
FreeFold Forms are one of a kind foldformed pieces.
Often they are a result of delving into an idea or walking into the studio with no agenda
and allowing the metal to take me somewhere.
The organic nature of the process is evident in the collection’s designs.
While most are not suited for replication, some are.

Using sheet metals and wire, each piece of jewelry is custom designed, hand cut, forged and sometimes soldered. Depending on the metal, patinas may be applied and whencomplete, pieces are sealed with lacquer or wax.
Since reactions between the metals and patinas are not consistent, the depth and tone of color will vary with each piece.
There also are variations from piece to piece due to the handcrafted nature of the jewelry.
