Heirloom

2020 (hair from artist, their mother, and grandmother)

A wearable accordion book inspired by Victorian mourning jewelry that explores generational trauma and the process of healing through familial connection. Heirloom is an interactive jewelry piece functioning like a locket that can be worn by a chain or displayed as a tunnel book when unfolded.

Heirloom was included in Messiah University’s 2021 Annual Juried Exhibition and CIVA’s Student Exhibition of the same year.
