Cast from a single tiny vertebra extracted from an owl pellet.

NATURAL HISTORY

Owls swallow their prey whole but are unable to digest bones and fur. They regurgitate the undigested parts of their prey as what are known as owl pellets. Based on the other bones found in the same owl pellet these vertebrae likely came from a field mouse or similar small rodent.

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.
