Annie Simpson

I am jewelry student at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA). This piece was part of a class assignment on hollow forms.

This reliquary serves as a remembrance of my daughter who was stillborn. I have no material items to remember her by or to hold, so this reliquary serves that purpose. I filled the reliquary with symbolic items for her -- two of my lampworked beads, a pewter bead from Green Girl Studios and a small pink bead I found.

The piece is meant to be either hung on a wall or held in one's hand.

More of Annie's work is here.
