I wanted this collection to highlight the modernist principles of color and form, particularly how colors relate to each other and how basic geometric shapes have infinite, satisfying configurations.  Shape and color can inspire emotion and tell a story on their own.  Matisse said that color and form could only achieve their full potential when they were separated from objects.  I wanted to create more jumbled constructions in this collection, so that the pendants appear layered and complex or fit together in some way.  I hope you can see that joyful balance in my work.
