My "Fidelity" series explores themes of introspection and self-examination, and the inherent struggle to remain meaningfully connected to one's conscience.

I make these spoons from the scrap silver that I have collected in my studio over the years. The material is collected, cleaned, and reused from one piece to the next, resulting in a physical continuity that directly ties one piece to the next.
