"I use crystal growth as a metaphor for an intense desire to reach an unattainable perfection. In my work, there are two possible outcomes: the bone or the gem. Both the bone and the gem are crystal structures that grow from an amorphous solution of their essential matter. Amorphous substances are chaotic by nature because they do not have an orderly arrangement of atoms and no definite external structure. Through a sustained period of ideal conditions, the crystal develops itself as a rigid, perfect, and inflexible form, creating order from chaos. Once it has achieved that control, the crystal continues to grow in perfection until an outside force stops it. The crystal does not stop growing by choice. The outside force causes the crystal to fail but allows the crystal to assign blame for its failure on something other than itself, softening the blow. I juxtapose these bones and gems
to create a visual parallel between the actual and the desired."
