Abstract (at Ocean Beach)
At the end of January I’m going to close my Etsy shops. I’m not making jewelry right now and don’t know when I will start again. I’ve tried a few times since graduate school ended, but I have not been inspired enough to complete anything. In the fall I felt determined to create new jewelry but struggled for weeks. I sketched, I made paper models, I tried hammering zinc, but nothing came and I had a heart-to-heart with myself. My focus and interests have changed and I’m not working full time in my studio like I used to. I have one full studio day a week, Sunday, and on that day all I want to do is paint with ink, draw with tape, and explore collage with torn paint chips. I’m supporting myself financially with a wonderful day job so there’s no pressure to sell my work to pay my bills. Instead, I can make whatever I want and slowly and deeply explore ideas and materials. I’m enjoying exactly where I’m at and this feels like a big accomplishment…
I’m not done with jewelry, but I know I’m not ready to return. In the meantime I’m going to focus on my interdisciplinary practice of drawing and works-on-paper, photography, video, and installation. Closing both shops feels like the right thing to do and I don’t know when I will reopen them. I hope you will take advantage of this moment and visit both. If there’s a necklace or drawing you’ve had your eye on, now is the time to click “add-to-cart.” Please feel free to message me with any questions.
Thanks for reading, and, as always, thanks for your interest and wonderful support of my work.
