1”x2”, found objects
It’s been amazing to watch my friends’ children turn into people with real personalities, interests, and goals. As they grow I can start to see which parts of them are passed down from their parents, and which parts are all their own. When I think about my own greats and great-greats I don’t know exactly what’s been passed down to me, but I have some objects that give me a sense of who they were. This pendant is made from the tag that was attached to a pair of leather gloves that were bought (and never worn) by my great-grandmother. They made their way to me, but don’t fit on my hands. Clearly I didn’t inherit her bone structure, but maybe I have other parts of her hidden inside.
