Abstract: The work in this thesis exhibition is a reflection of my spiritual journey a consecration of both the mundane and profound and my search for transcendence. Repetitive action becomes meditation; each piece becomes a prayer. Fueled by a passion for the geologic sciences these works combine actual stones and sediments with electroformed and enameled fabricated stones with textile techniques to create a series of neckpieces and an installation of brooches.
