Objects of Remembrance: An Index of the Sentimental
Exploring sentimentality through physical objects.
(2022) Mum jewellery collection
This series explores the physical objects we assign sentimental value. Items once held by a loved one let us feel close to them - even without their physical presence. This series seeks to explore grief through examining objects that are sentimental to me. This project features heirlooms and objects from my mother, grandmother and beyond. This project is in early stages - and is currently in consultation with others about their sentimental items.
