“In the past year my work has progressed from arnstraightforward, less distinct approach to a morernminimal, graphic design style that uses images based around the shifts in pop culture. I like tornreference pop culture because our generation is sornconsumed with and heavily influenced by television andrnmagazines. By using these familiar references peoplernare more readily drawn into my pieces, and it becomesrneasier to look for a deeper message. I like tornrespond to certain issues in the media that I feelrnpassionate about through the context in my artwork,rnand I feel I can communicate most effectively aboutrnthose issues with jewelry as my medium. Jewelry thatrnhas an underlying communication appeals to me becausernit transforms from having commercial value to arngreater artistic significance.”rn—Allyson Ross
