Ancestor
Ancestor is a piece inspired by my desire to understand the concept of home, and what home means to me. The inspiration behind Ancestor is that scientists believe that dinosaurs could be the ancestors of birds.
The elements in this piece are the state birds, and state flowers from the states I’ve called home:
Wyoming,
Montana, and
Utah. The Tyrannosaurus Rex (
which is one of my favourite dinosaurs!) once called these states home as well.
And so these flora and fauna, (
alive or extinct), are a way for me to connect and relate to these places I've called home.
A sister enamel pin was created inspired by this piece.
