The Splintered Heart Locket on Chainmaille
A love heart shaped locket held together through magnetic force. The locket can physically hold and protect something of value, sentimental or physical, or simply act as a vessel to later fill or empty.
The figures sculpted in relief on the heart’s front stretch toward and away from the locket’s close.
The 012025 series lockets are a turn on transformation, memory, movement connection and pause.
The script on the back of the locket reads:
SPLINTER a feather grows
a wings, water’s edge
returns a body
forgotten LIMB
moves, a brutal
wanting by your hand this matter
is formed open
rest
turn again
body apart
curdling
a feathered thought, logic strains
