Resilience

 

16.5” x 22.5” x 1.5”

Resilience honors the courage and patience it takes to mend rather than discard and come back to the table of life. It acknowledges that the repaired object is never the same as it once was – but it is still hole in a new way. And perhaps more importantly, it suggests that there is dignity, even beauty, in choosing to sit down again, surrounded by imperfect pieces, and continue the act of living. But that doesn’t mean you won’t stop tossing plates and silverware from time to time.

Made with vintage paper, old linen napkin and plate mended with vintage zippers, and broken silverware mended with buttons and thread, pins, bolts, watch band, metal clip with chain and old compass parts. 

This piece is framed under glass in  hand milled 2.5” deep pine frame.
