“I use found metal objects to create wall pieces and use the left-over scrap for earrings. I work primarily with cookie, candy, or popcorn tins, or similar light gauge metals sometimes riveting pieces together or sometimes nailing them to scrap wood. My work sometimes includes beads or other items of broken jewelry or odds and ends discarded by others. It is from the tradition of Tin Can Folkart.”
