apocalypse border fence neckpiece with last, hidden bee, 2020
human hair with blue thread

Andy Mauery’s apocalypse border fence neckpiece with last, hidden bee reminds us of our connection to our mortal bodies, of what lasts long after our bodies depart. Echoing Victorian mourning jewelry, this delicate ring of stitched hair tangles our senses: a memory, a longing, a haunting.
