By manipulating patterns and structure, I construct a contemporary illustration of ornamentation; a modern day, almost campy version of baroque design. Bright colored stones and plexiglass, along with perfect circles and baroque ornaments that have become flattened and disfigured, establish a composition of contrasting elements. Raw and uncut stones are contained, while structural elements have been manipulated to create chaos. Bright colors accentuate non-traditional stones and gems, creating an almost pornographic setting. Antiqued, tarnished silver contrasts with bright, shiny plexiglass and sparkly or polished stones. Rigid lines create imperfect shapes, and organic elements coexist with manufactured ones.
