As far as finishing, i am thinking of leaving most of them as objects rather than as jewelry. I think when i first started making work about mourning i thought i would be able to make a single snapshot that would represent it all. However instead i have realized that it is impossible. These objects showcase my failed attempt to chase a specific visual representation of grief.
I am finishing threading the grey thread into the egg, and some of the pieces i am working with i am going to make a wire construction. However i still want to work with some really thin sheet metal. I really like the group shot of them though, there is something really powerful there.
As far as desplay, i think some should be on a table and others should be on the wall, i am going to think more about that this week, so when we meet next week we can decuss it more. Since i am going to ikea the next day.
It is a wonderful group shot--you can start to feel the power that each object holds and how it stands on its own. I dont know if the objects are a failed attempt to show....or if they are just different facets of the process. I know you tried many different "structures" to set them in, and maybe you have come to the realization that they are all just steps....I think the decision that the objects will remain objects and not become jewelry is a separate issue. When you think about them, just be clear in your mind that there is a reason why they are objects, not just that it seems too hard to make them into jewelry
