Statement:
‘Everything’s Foggy. We have his funeral after the weekend, I kinda, part of me doesn’t want to go because that would be accepting he’s never coming back.’
An excerpt from my diary, shortly before a funeral. Mourning Jewellery or Memento Mori serves as a reminder of someone we have lost.
Through my own experience I create my own Memento Mori to come to terms with my own loss.
The materials I have worked with have inspired me through their own history and the slowly fading traces of a life lived, that have been left behind.
Engraving just one word on each brooch allows me to reveal as much or as little of the story as I want.
Together they are remnants of past lives, lived and lost.
