Eat it & Wear it - a bit(e) of an explanation

I make jewelry…before you ask me to set a diamond I can’t…but I got a guy. I make contemporary art jewelry that is specifically food-centric. WTF is that? Art jewelry is usually one of a kind and can also function as sculpture. Sometimes it’s a recognizable form and sometimes it’s completely ambiguous. In my case, I am on a mission to try to understand how a wearable memento of favorite food aids in creating nostalgic sentiments to the food of our past that sometimes only lives in our memories….and bring it back to the body. Below you can explore the steps involved in this process.
