INTERVIEW
Well-Worn Narratives: The Mia McEldowney Jewelry Collection, Tacoma Art Museum, Tacoma, WA, USA
by Adriane Dalton
"Mia was only five feet tall, but she wasn't afraid to wear very large pieces of jewelry. In fact, I rarely saw her without art jewelry on. Even if she was just wearing a T-shirt and leggings, she'd have on a pin or earrings. I've never thought about it before, but I believe that you have to be a people person to wear that much art jewelry. I remember people stopping her on the street to talk to her about a pin or neckpiece."
