| dc.description.abstract | In my recent body of work I have chosen to magnify the cellular structures of plants and modify them into a more concrete and visible state. This process alters the familiar perception of plant cells, reassembling them into a new material and format. I am using the inherent beauty within the basic structure of the plant to express a fresh vision of beauty itself. By using cellular structures as a means to ornament the body, I'm forcing the viewer to interact with these forms in an unfamiliar way. Manipulating the plant’s innate qualities by magnification and modification of materials distorts its original value, fundamentally humanizing it. It is distorted further as I add functionality to the images by fabricating them into jewelry forms. The alteration of the original form creates a new relationship of semblance between plants and humans. | |
