Jag vet vilka de var
Ashley Gilreath gjorde detta halsband med foton av sina förfäder, alla i miniatyr, i dockskåpsstorlek med ramar:
This necklace was made to represent the memory of my grandparent’s long staircase in their house. I want the viewer to see my history as the necklace wraps around, and to feel the sensation of climbing up and down the stairs as the images of my family line the walls. More importantly, I wanted my skin to show through as my family’s skin, so that my stories, my life and who I am as an individual is shown as the sum of all of the people that came before me.
Halsbandet kallar hon ”I Am Who They Were”. Se fler bilder på hennes hemsida.
