I made this is a class with Susan Lenart Kazmer. Originally meant to be a big pendant for a necklace, it is a booklet, with pages to flip. In between are pictures of my grandfather, and his work-collegues at the factory where he was working.
It´s a bit big for me to actually wear it as a necklace, but I like it way too much to leave it in a drawer, so I decided to put it up on my living-room wall instead. So now he hangs by my great grandmother and my cousin´s daughter. Maybe a bit untraditional “ancestral” collection, but I like using different techniques, different materials, different expressions.
I love seeing the mix of textures and media on the wall — I have a travel wall that is more kitchy than artistic, but I still enjoy the idea of combing texture and color.
