Find the ocean-a jewelry journal
The heart does not wait for permission. The heart is the permission. Find the ocean.
The heart does not wait for permission. The heart is the permission. Find the ocean.
On June 20, 2012, I set out to collect a found object every day for a year, make a journal record of its origin and create a piece of jewelry from it. Two months in, I faced a second diagnosis of breast cancer. While not the initial impetus, the project became a primary resource for continuing in the face of uncertainty . In 2017, following a third diagnosis and relocation, I slowly began attaching the small journal entries onto larger pages. Through the work of photographing, expanding the text and adding images, I weave and embrace my relationship to time, place healing and creativity. Each entry is also a Fluxus style "score" ; so each piece can also be performed. I recently began releasing the work by gifting pieces to 3 friends on their own healing journeys.
