We silly humans are gatherers. We always have been, and likely will always be. The shell pieces used in this piece were collected on the summer equinox. These lustrous ocean tumbled shell pieces were stitched onto a leather backing with a snap closure at the back.

This work is a part of The Movement of Stone project.
