Forest

With inspiration from the essay ¨The Carrierbag Theory of Fiction¨ by Ursula le Guin I have made a series of vessels made from materials found in the forest. The materials are stitched together with silk because of its strength, and the poetry in the making of the silk when it is done with care and compassion for the silkworms involved.
One vessel is the Raven, made from materials in my workshop. The Raven symbolizes transformation, and we need to transform the way we use our planet.
There are two stories told in the “The Carrierbag theory for Fiction” one where life is about making a container, a basket, a net to place whatever is gathered, to share with your fellow beings. The other story is the story about making a spear and go out and kill and come back to tell that story about winning over nature. Two ways of using technology.
The energy of the jewelry is the energy from the forest materials, they are biodegradable and can slip back into the energy system of the forest.
The raven is soft and it sits in your hand if you hold it, it signifies the wish for care, compassion and change of our relation to the recourses of Mother Earth.
