Her most recent work in brass is iridescent in warm tones as the brass enhances the luminosity of the shell. She introduces a new tactility to to the vessel's interior through meticulously hand-applied scratches. As geometric shapes intersect the mother-of-pearl inlay, the brass underneath is revealed. These lines curve around the exterior and are embellished with an irregular texture, achieved through a process of hammering.
