{"product_id":"matrilineal-fascinator","title":"Matrilineal Fascinator","description":"\u003cp\u003e My matrilineal fascinator represents the women in my maternal lineage: my mother, two grandmothers, four great-grandmothers, and two great-great-grandmothers. The work honors the legacy, strength, and influence of the women who came before me\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e.I am creating a sculptural headpiece cast in white bronze that explores ancestry as a living constellation of memory. From the structure of the fascinator, a series of small forms appear to orbit the headpiece —miniature jewelry pieces and symbolic objects inspired by women of my maternal lineage. Each object functions as a piece of art representing a particular ancestor through motifs, materials, or stories told about her life by the family. These constellations radiate from the headpiece mapping lineage through fragments of adornment rather than through portraiture. The work suggests that identity is formed through generations of women whose presence continues to shape the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart crown, part archive, the work treats jewelry as a cosmology of matrilineal memory—an unfolding galaxy of objects through which familial histories remain visible. In this way, the fascinator becomes a small cosmology—an orbit of objects through which matrilineal memory continues to expand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"elin weinstein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47547124973755,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/5288\/7227\/files\/maquette_01.jpg?v=1777300039","url":"https:\/\/elinweinstein.com\/products\/matrilineal-fascinator","provider":"elin weinstein","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
