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,
This piece is comprised of a delicate brass grid upon which are affixed glass beads containing plant and tree seeds. Hung from a solid brass bar, this piece can be purchased as a diptych or single piece, but this piece contains such a variety that it is named for the season in which the seeds were foraged. It contains milkweed, dandelion, sowthistle, and cottonwood to name a few.
