I
wanted to make rings that were like love letters. Cloudy white plastic layered
with black text creates the, largely hidden, story of the flush of love. They
are like wearing a dream or a memory of a thought.
As
in life, the most intimate thoughts are hidden within the layers. They were
designed to be worn by a couple, I Want To Be Your Wife Always and I've Loved You Since The Moment I Met You (2006), from the Like Wearing a Love Letter Series, are each the expression of their sweetheart's love.
They are a saintly and pure documentation and a permanent declaration of love.
