It is man-made in process but not in feeling. The result is something that looks like it was found at the bottom of a tide pool on a planet with two suns — alien, alive, completely impossible to look away from.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe stone itself protrudes from the setting — three-dimensional, present, demanding to be noticed. Around it, a hand-sculpted setting finished with 24 carat gold leaf and pure copper leaf — two metals, two temperatures of light, working together the way fire and earth work together.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut the cord is where this piece becomes something else entirely.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI am a maker in every sense of the word. I sew, I knit, I weave, I crochet. My hands need to be making something — always have. With this piece I made a decision that the cord itself would be part of the art — not a functional afterthought but a deliberate element of the work. The macramé is hand-woven in cracked black leather, the particular pattern of a regular macramé knot creating a dense, tactile, completely handmade cord that sits against the neck the way a collar should — close, confident, completely present.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe cracked leather is intentional.
