Modern Minoan
|
The Modern Mycenaean earrings reference the original palette of the ancient Greek jewelry that inspired the sets. The Mourning Red Tide earrings reference the dark palette of Victorian mourning jewelry while maintaining the stylized interpretation of ancient Greek jewelry.
These sets were inspired by the losses from the recent red tide blooms along the gulf coast of Florida. I appropriated the ancient Greek aesthetic to reference the lush gulf coast and the dark palette of mourning jewelry to symbolize the sadness I felt for the loss of animals and wild life that occurred during the red tide blooms. |
