2017

Inspired by cabinets of curiosity and the simultaneous age of discovery associated with that time, this piece is a reimagined cartographic cabinet. The map brooches in the center are removable and wearable, but also are rearrangeable so that the viewer can create their own world. The etchings below reflect different possible arrangements of the continents, and are the inverse of the brooches. The necklaces are a combination of imagined and real species.
