Who hasn’t spent at least a few moments on their back, on a dark night, and lost themselves in the endless sky and its millions of tiny specks of twinkling light? Looking at the mountains of silver scraps and fillings accumulating on my bench, I couldn’t help seeing another starry sky, on a much smaller scale. Debris from my work, stellar dust and fragments of celestial bodies, all spinning together on the blackboard of my imagination. Re-aggregating those debris together to create new landscapes in new pieces of jewelry seemed quite fitting with the story of our universe. Even more satisfying was the possibility of recycling these debris and giving them a new life, right here in my studio. Every little touch of green counts, even when you work mainly in black and (silver) white.
