In response to the imperial origins of historical wunderkammer, this body of work reimagines objects of wonder through the most hyper-local of materials: household waste. These fictional curiosities reject exotica in favor of an anti-exotica, transforming the discarded into the extraordinary. All of this work is made largely of reclaimed aluminum cans, bottle glass, and plastic sourced from her own home and community.
This work was presented in collaboration with Ashley Pollack at New York City Jewelry Week 2024.
