Once, the baroque pearl was an outcast. A misshapen dropout. “Baroque” was originally an insult until a jeweller noticed its potential and challenged the norm. That oddly shaped pearl later lent its name to an era of appreciation for asymmetry, rich form and abundant ornament. My work reveals itself slowly. My process can never be totally controlled, which keeps me curious and keeps the work spontaneous. Baroque was the rebel before, and organic baroque is a rebel now, against the smooth, seamless and conventional.
