MEET THE MAKER
With ancestry rooted in the Scanian and Black Forest regions, this adornment project blends a Scandinavian minimal textural aesthetic with the mystique of the dark forest. Deeply intertwined with ancestral ties to horses along with their strength, intuition, and untamed spirit, the work honors the ancient bond and shared energy between human and horse. These influences shape a creative process that is foremost a deep dive into the spellwork of my lineage, exploring themes of energy manifestation and weaving personalized ritual craft into each piece.
Expect minimal yet bold statements, rich organic textures, and an ever-present current of purpose — where adornment becomes both talisman and tether to ancestral power, land, and the enduring spirit of the horse.
The name Four Horses originates from a recurring dream I have whenever I feel disconnected from my creative path. It felt like the perfect title for this ongoing creative journey, a reminder to delve deeper into the ancestral spellwork of my roots.
This project is made possible through the connection and partnership with Anam Cara Farm in Canaan, ME and the herd that lovingly donate their hair. I look forward to sharing their names, stories and spirit. Four Horses is deeply committed to ethical, equitable, and ecological practices and prioritizes sustainable materials and processes, always seeking the most conscientious way forward. Anam Cara Farm is lock step in alignment with their own efforts towards Equiculture.
Thank you for visiting the shop. I’m excited to share what’s next in my creative evolution!
