There is a level of respect that is given to every living creature: from those we eat to those we admire from afar and those we love. But often, the bones, those fragments that linger behind, are not given the same amount of affection and attention.
This project is my endeavour to take these forgotten fragments and give them a new form of respect and remembrance.
It has allowed me the opportunity to take my love of wire and working with my hands, and my long standing interest in geology and gem stones and create an art piece that I hope invites you to confront and contemplate the way you and the world around you feel about what remains behind after death - while still enjoying the beauty that can be created from it.
As an artist I am drawn to materials that have deep layers of meaning that can be explored. Each skull is sourced from a different place, with its own unique story to tell, each stone has been chosen to match this story and add to it. I invite you to explore what these artworks mean to you and take the opportunity to give love to parts of these creatures that would otherwise be forgotten.
