Requiem Fine Art

The Janie Prescott Collection

Antique Silver-Plated Spoons

Beautiful Found Images

Scraps of Love

Hanging over the heart on delicate sterling silver chain, these exquisite necklaces carry a unique physicality and visual narrative. Using lost, forsaken objects and the found letters of women passed, with each of my pieces I create a ‘requiem’. I found Janie Prescott’s suitcase of secret love letters late one night. Janie and Martha were two women who fell in love in the 1940’s at a time when their love just couldn’t be. Up until now, Janie and Martha’s love existed only on paper. Historically, spoons entered and exited the mouth like a one-night-stand. As a maker I marry the lifelong love-letter and the antique spoon, to sire a modern talisman. I hand select my materials, often retooling before I choreograph a composition of objects, images and high quality epoxy. Each piece is then fitted with a fragment of the love letters that spanned over 60 years. In this I place a hope that the human qualities of love and loss, flesh and memory will connect us. Displayed in a stunning installation of vessels: trunks, suitcases and even a repurposed barn door, each necklace beckons.

The fragment on the back of this piece reads ‘blessing’ (something we could all use a little more of I’d imagine- I know I could).
