The collection is called "Reliquaries", and is inspired by the reverential practice of creating elaborate shrines for holy relics. My reliquaries lovingly house pollinator seeds to showcase and preserve them. With the natural world in such obvious peril, I am feeling an overwhelming urgency to guard and treasure those things we stand to lose. Reliquaries are sometimes housed for centuries; showing those who view them throughout those years what is precious to us.

Seeing the delicacy and intricacy of these tiny seeds, I am struck by the massive weight of what they carry. Nearly every element of our ecosystems require bees and pollinator flowers to survive; which means humans do as well. These building blocks of our world need to be loved and protected so that they may continue building a vibrant and livable world for us.

Each piece is named for the seed that it houses, and will be sold with a vial of the seed for the purchaser to scatter.

This piece is made from fused plastic grocery bags encircling a hand blown glass bead containing Siberian Wallflower seeds.
