Inspired by biology, Corollaria used an anisotropic centroidal Voronoi algorithm to generate structures that mimics cells responding to their environment. A complex creation using the density and direction from the algorithm are then etched into brass sheets and shaped using a hydraulic press.

Nervous System also explored the realm of rubber jewelry for the first time in this collection. The rubber represents cellular structures at a larger scale, resulting in bold, dramatic pieces that cover sprawl over the body.
