These kind of objects tend to draw a viewer in, mesmerized by the mysteriously encoded images, and captivated by the amount of care put into them. My work makes reference to these objects, but on a more personal level. These pieces give the impression of something very valuable being contained and protected, but sometimes only revealed selectively. I often incorporate symbols that I believe transcend cultural boundaries and speak on a universal level. I keep a sense of mystery around the pieces, leaving the viewer with something to work out, possibly to project his or her personal interpretation.
