NATURAL HISTORY

Turdus migratorius

The American robin is a songbird in the thrush family. They are widespread across North America and overwinter in much of the United States. Robins lay their eggs earlier in the season than most birds. They build their nests from twigs, grass, feathers and found fibers and often line the interior hollow with soft materials.

METAPHOR

The feeling of home. Leaving it and returning to it.
  • the twig is approximately 20 mm long, incorporated into an organically textured 1 mm band

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.
