Alluvial Necklace

The Alluvial Collection represents the shifting soil that makes up the riverbank.

“Southern Louisiana was built up over millennia as the Mississippi River continually laid down sediment so that even what is solid was dissolved into and delivered by water and even what is local came from afar.” - R. Solnit and R. Snedeker in Unfathomable City

The necklace was etched from a 1900s map featuring the contours of the ripples from the river and land along the riverbank.
