Inspired by the mysteries of the sea, this barnacle charm necklace is handcrafted to remind the wearer of the amazing effect the sea has on us all. I have spent countless hours roaming the shores all over New England and I can honestly say that it never gets old. Gulls floating in the distance and the waves gently breaking on the shore soothes even the most restless of spirits. This small pendant is part of my large body of work called 'Crustacea Cirripedia.' Barnacles build their homes of calcium carbonate to withstand drastic changes in temperature, humidity, and physical agitation. I create the Crustacea Cirripedia series in order to pay homage to their solidarity and to draw strength from their sheer will to live.
