Ornaments
BRONZE MEDALLION SERIES
2023-2024
For the 2023 holiday season, I created a series of four bronze tree ornaments to give as gifts to family and friends. The designs were inspired by song lyrics from my favorite band, The Cribs.
I carved the original artwork in layered wood and created silicone molds to produce a limited run. I cast and chased the bronze before sandblasting and leaving it without finish; as they oxidize over time, the metal will naturally change appearance every year, a gift that keeps on giving. ▨
I.
“BUT BABY DON’T FEEL DOWN /
I LEFT MY HEART IN A PROVINCIAL TOWN”
II.
“I’M THE WHALE BENEATH THE SHIP /
WHO WOULD EVER BELIEVE ME?”
III.
“BE COMFORTED BY /
WE SHARE THE SAME SKIES”
IV.
“I DRAG UP ANCIENT HISTORY /
HOPE THAT THEY’LL FORGIVE ME”
