Lyre – an instrument as old as ancient Greece. Symbol of harmony, union of cosmic forces, love, and devotion. '72: the year the artist was born into a house filled with mid-century modern design. Lyre '72 explores how our worlds are intricately woven together; that no matter the era, we can find commonality.
Lyre '72 is a series of seven wooden orbs that are each woven with thousands of feet of paracord. It was created as a memorial to the artist's mother, who recently passed from dementia and Alzheimer's. As is so often the case with these diseases, one begins to remember more about the past than to understand the present; so the artist wanted her memorial to focus on the idea of nostalgia but in a modern context.
