This piece celebrates the importance of small acts of kindness.
The stones in this pendant vary in shape and colour. When the pendant is turned over, our eyes cannot see a new order. This situation echoes the feelings of people trying to make changes. Adding one fine silver granule lets us notice differences. This granule symbolises the support we can give to help each other keep going.
The necklace is part of my Pebbles Are a Girl's Best Friend project, which explores creative ways to repurpose a concrete drill core. I transform this industrial remnant into materials for jewellery and other objects. I use pigments derived from debris and stones to bring sustainability into practice and demonstrate the potential of reused materials.
More info on this project can be found in my blog post project Pebbles Are a Girl's Best Friend and the blog Exhibition Momentum Australia
