Artist Statement
Latin phrase Praeteritum translates to passed by—events that started and ended in the past. My pieces Praeteritum I-III, represent embodied grief—significant past lifechanging events I have experienced. I signal to these via visual elements, embedded materially, and conceptual themes. The ring forms are ground shards of 100-year-old glass medicine bottles, which are partially glided, bound with silver wire treated with black patina, and enamels. These are paired with a pendant that features a prosthetic eye set in a gilded circular form, that is bound with knotted silver wire treated with black patina to point to the complex pathways that we sometimes share in our realties—as the journey back stillness.
