"Through collage and found objects, I strive to create what I call modern relics. I use insect wings, feathers, torn pages from old books, and combine them with contemporary materials. I'm also interested in interactivity with my jewelry. I achieve this by using moving parts through encasing bits that move freely, attaching metal by magnetic force, and incorporating games such as mazes using ball bearings or the moving of metal shavings with magnetic wands. I'm often either taking an old idea and making it new, or using something new, and through abuse and patinas, making it look old."

Prices range from around $20 to $400. Contact Alicia to purchase or request custom pieces.
