Meanings & Messages , Forget-Me-(K)not Brooch
Created for the ACJ Meanings and Messages major touring exhibition, Forget-Me-(K)not celebrates the tacit exchange of skills between mother and daughter.
Jane was awarded the ACJ /Mahtab Hanna Award for her brooch.
Using thread from late mum’s sewing box and using a traditional brushmaking technique, my brooch explores the notion of ‘handicraft’ and the familiarity of domestic objects. It is a contemporary form of mourning jewellery - a tactile corsage for comfort and consolation.
