inheritance

when my grandmother passed away, i was given her costume jewelry. i found myself thinking about how i haven’t really earned this jewelry in any way or know how to properly care for it, and how this idea parallels our relationship with the earth. how can we honor our inheritances - both from people and the planet? and how can we create newness without further cluttering the earth? the materials i use in this collection entwine manufactured items that will eventually end up in a landfill with natural materials that will eventually fill up the land.
