Studio in the Gallery

Cris & Shawn is a collection of contemporary jewelry. The work behind the brand embraces a minimal aesthetic by focusing on a structural silhouette created with metal. Taking inspiration from my sketches, I form by hand using sheet metal and wire to manipulate an original flat dimension. The use of hammers, files, and flame help to create scale through shapes and movement in lines. The resulting work is an exploration of jewelry as lightweight wearable sculpture.
