Wounds Adorned
I stumbled apon the phrase “the oysters bandaid”. The phrase refers to an oysters protective reaction to an intruder or irritant. When something enters an oyster that is deemed a threat, the mollusc begins to coat the intruder with layers of nacre. Layer apon layer of iradescent goo turns into the most beautiful bandaid. A pearl.
“Wounds Adorned” is a collection of jewellery mimicking an oysters way of healing and protecting itself. Written notes with physical ailments or mental scars are scrunched up and coated with layers of resin. Custom silver settings hold these precious heirlooms on the related body part to pass on healing to future generations.
