"Jill creates jewelry and artwork that often explores her personal experience as a woman. Memories, daily interactions, and examination of this experience develop her material choices, surfaces, and forms. Work that utilizes the technique of crochet references traditional doilies, collars, and other historic accessories. The use of wire allows these lacey forms to hold their shape and permit more durability and permanence than a textile. Pattern and decoration in the work are appropriated from lace, crochet, or floral motifs. These textile techniques and patterns have a feminine subtext through their aesthetic value and process of making. Alternative, found, or non-precious materials are often incorporated for their nostalgic value, feminine connotation, meaning, or color." -Jill Baker Gower
