About Mia
In my jewellery artwork, I capture moments from my daily life in the form of
physical objects that can be worn by others. I record subtle spaces in plaster.
They are physical expressions of feelings and experiences with that which I use everyday.
I reflect on simple common objects such as my bedpost, the doorknob of my favorite
café, plastic spoons from the local ice cream shop, visits with a friend, or the touch
between a mother and a child. Yet each one defines the horizon of an emotional landscape
that I experience daily. I cast my own body and the bodies of friends and family. Each piece
has captured a moment of my life, and has a means by which I can connect and reconnect to others.
