My Aunt and I, 2024

Quartz watch, cotton yarn, driftwood, twine

11 x 8 in, NFS

Before my aunt died, she gave me many different pieces of jewelry that she had collected from around the world. However, since we are of different generations, I do not wear many of them since they do not fit with who I am. This piece was a way to use and appreciate the gift my aunt had given me while making it my own by creating a wrist strap using an inkle band technique.
