HEIRLOOM OBJECTS CONCEPT

The idea of this concept came after my mom past away. It was brought about by wanting to honor and remember her with something something that was hers and more then just a picture but something that was hers and reminded me of her that I didn’t have to put in a box somewhere and forget about. I wanted something I could live with and as well as look at everyday. I made a piece called "heirloom objects," which is based on one of her old belts. She always wanted to live in Montana and never got the chance. In her memory, I hollowed out a big cherry blossom burl and created a three-dimensional scene incased in resin. [The scene] combines a mountain-like image with flowers, along with Polaroid picture of her and the belt. I keep it on the dresser in my bedroom.
