I wanted to make a ring that was that was like wearing a love letter.  In You See Me (2007),  from the Like Wearing a Love Letter Series, petals of cloudy white polycarbonate and archival quality black ink tell the shifting story of  love. It is like wearing a dream or a memory of a thought. A dream of love, longing and desire; of time spent picking flowers, daydreaming and writing in secret notebooks.
