Some of her most striking pieces are those that she crafts from thin twines of copper wire.

I started working with copper wire to emulate the fragility and resilience of the seedpod.
Copper is very flexible, and I can use it to twist and coil into organic forms.

The intricately looped copper wire in her artwork silently echos this sentiment with its complex interwoven structure.
Our inner worlds and outer worlds are linked.
Her wire baskets are sometimes combined with woven threads, which she colors using natural eucalyptus dyes.
