This is a lamp made out of an extension cord that powers the light inside it; shading the light with the chord that powers it or the energy from the source.

Grandma’s chair

This is a piece inspired by my grandmother. It honors her Dutch heritage with a cloth flower tulip draped over a chair. This was part of the artist processing the death of her grandmother.

An image of a cloth flower: a large, human-sized, white tulip. The cloth petals are laying on the seat and the wire-backed singular leaf lays over the top of the back of the chair.

f(x): jewelry based on math

f(x) is a collection of simple yet elegant sterling silver jewelry based on mathematical equations. In an age where data representation proliferates the cultural milieu, it is easy to feel separated from these esoteric expressions. This collection seeks to highlight a beauty of information we are surrounded with every day. The packaging of each piece pulls from the equation that the piece is based on, providing an x and y-axis where the jewelry can be presented in context.

Two silver earrings are in the shape of parabolas lay on the arm of a flat wooden chair. Math books are laying on the floor, barely legible.
A silver necklace with two bell curves is affixed to a silver chain. Two silver earrings in the shape of parabolas are to the right of the necklace. These objects lay on the floor amidst paper scraps with x and y coordinates and equations drawn in in pencil.
Two earrings are placed on a piece of paper laying on the wooden floor. They are curved in the shape of a repeating stereo wave. Completing the pencil-drawn stereo wave line visible on the paper with the words Stereo Waves printed on the top of the paper.
