NATURAL HISTORY

Platanus occidentalis

American Sycamore, or Buttonwood, trees are native to the Eastern United States from Maine as far west as Nebraska and Texas. The bark of all trees must stretch and split as the tree grows. Sycamores handle growth by shedding irregular swaths of bark, leaving behind a lovely, mottled map of previous changes.

METAPHOR

Change. The feeling of a river bank and the sound of water.

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.
