copper, enamel, mood pigment, silver 12" x 2" x 0.25" - 20" chain length Process/Concept:This necklace is fabricated from cast sterling silver sycamore twigs and features an enameled copper centerpiece with a waterslide decal on the front with a mood pigment backing that changes color due to "mood" (temperature). From the Artist:The sycamore twigs were selected from beneath a tree that grows in the backyard of my childhood home. It was under this tree that I lost a favorite piece of childhood jewelry and recruited my dad to help me look for it. We never found the mood ring... We recreated the memory with an image taken of his feet amongst the sycamore tree roots, which is depicted in the decal. The backing of the necklace has a mood pigment to commemorate the mood ring that was lost. The nostalgia of that moment drove the material decisions for this necklace.
