Based on a beautiful poem that explores individuality and the way that as parents we watch our children grow and become unique, this pendant uses found objects to represent a parent and three children. The three children are similar, but their size, their perspective and what’s inside makes them each unique.

Glass, 1″x 2″
In the second of my poem-inspired pendants, here is “the tree, against the backdrop of the sky”. You’ll have to come to our January opening to see the rest of the beautiful and moving poem. I created the form of a tree by breaking a thick, frosted, mirror-backed piece of glass along the lines of a trunk, branches and roots. The deep cracks are visible through the glass from many angles giving depth to what would otherwise be a flat design. The colors and textures of the pendant sky, like the real sky, change as the light changes.
1″x 2″, glass and found objects
I’ve been handed a wonderful project by my wonderful friend Tova Speter. As she creates new work this year she’ll send it along to a poet friend of hers to create a poem inspired by her painting. Then I will use each poem to inspire a tiny mosaic. Here is my first piece, inspired by the beautiful words of “cold moon”. Consider these a sneak preview of a show that we’ll hang in Needham in January where you’ll get to see the whole chain of inspiration.
