From the Bullet Hole Collection, I capture an iconic symbol of violence [the bullet] in its precise moment of impact [the hole]. I use what is physically not present to convey movement and action, to tell a story by inference, like using an echo rather than the voice itself. In doing so I create an unsettling beauty in my bullet hole jewelry with what many would consider to be an alarming, but very unique, choice of subject matter.

It is a power stone, and, according to legend, it guides its wearer when he’s traveling at night, and protects its wearer from nightmares and depression.
