| Buy a Clam Pendant |
When was the last time you though about a clam? I doubt it was recently. It seems like such a strange image to consider, but it is one of the most used symbols throughout art history. I am fascinated how common themes are found in very different works of art from completely different time periods. The pictures shown above are a perfect example of this occurrence. "The Birth Of Venus" by Sandro Botticelli was painted in 1485, "Slightly Open Clam Shell" by Georgia O'Keeffe was created with pastel on cardboard in 1926 and the "Clam Pendant" created by me a couple of weeks ago. How is it that these three pieces have anything at all in common? Amazing!
Anything that has to do with the sea makes me feel more connected and humbled. The clam shell necklace, specifically, connects me to my femininity and my personal power through artistic expressions. It is also a reminder that it doesn't really matter where you are from, or even when you are from, we as humankind are all sharing in this experience of life. We all have something to teach and we all have something to learn. What does your Clam Shell Necklace mean to you?
