"Disembodied pieces of hair reveal an absent body. They can be retained and used in order to preserve and signify memories of a person, as hair has the capacity to persist. The use of human hair as a material was and is a strong medium used for remembrance, invoking a memory of having lived and of having passed away--a person's life."
Like many things at Art Jewelry Forum, volunteers make this program function. Bonnie Levine's passion and commitment to the field of art jewelry allows AJF to do impressive things like offer a $7,500 award to a jewelry artist.
Thanks to Bonnie for being a part of AJF and making the 2018 AJF Artist Award possible. Read the full press release.
