NATURAL HISTORY

Calendula officinalis

Calendula, also known as pot marigold, is a colorful and edible herbaceous plant in the daisy family with medicinal properties. It has been used throughout history both in healing and for its yellow dye. Today it is often found in salves and balms. The blossoms attract pollinators and can be used as cut flowers.

About the Process

Each piece of Thicket jewelry begins with taking a mold of a found or foraged natural object. This mold is used in the process of lost wax casting to create a perfect replica, in solid fine metal, of the original natural object.

Why metaphor?

Jewelry is not only adornment - it is symbolism. Jewelry can be a talisman, a reminder, a covenant, a spell.

Humans have been ascribing meaning to the natural world for a very long time. In selecting natural objects to cast I think not only about the form and aesthetics but also the valences of meaning the object holds and I include these in the description of each Thicket piece. Each of these metaphors is a beginning, waiting for you to layer your own meanings and stories onto.
