Early morning work. Getting back into the flow of productive work, not sure where it’s going but here we are. 💜

My shop is closed for the immediate moments, and I’m looking forward to putting it all back online when it feels like the time. 💜

A non-exhaustive list of things I’ve preserved,

A non-exhaustive list of things I’ve preserved, in no particular order:
-evergreen springs from bouquets gifted by former lovers. -hemlock cones from the tree outside the window of my childhood room
-sea glass from places I’ve never been, from people I’ve never met
-bricks from the foundation of a house in Salem, once owned by a woman who stood accused of witchcraft
-a twin acorn from somewhere east coast, maybe Boston-ish
-twigs and errata my son has been collecting for “mommy make necklace” since the time that he first started to speak
-feathers from my somewhat estranged cousin’s backyard flock
-tiny maple leaves and bits of the sea, washed up for someone else to find and pass along

I do this work as reminder of the sense of reverence we share for the world around us, that potent connection in moments and tiny stories that relate to the wonder and awe that we all seek in this world. *

In college, I took a required seminar for my art program. There was a full lecture on the *artist as collector* and I’ve been fascinated with notion that since. The idea that it’s the work of the artist to find and distill objects and moments into bits of meaning is of paramount influence to my work, both as a painter and as a jeweler. It’s also led me to collect some random found objects until they’re ready to be explored. More importantly, I think, the significance is in how we collect and distill our shared moments into something tangible, but fleeting. A feeling, a gesture, a memory becomes stationary, fixed in time, open for interpretation. *

I’m doing a takeover for @carveouttimeforart today, so I am here to lift the veil a bit on what it is that I do and why. Please join me here, there or on my personal feed: @aprilarotin *
