ABBI MARIE
Biography:
Abbi Marie is a jewelry artist who works in a variety of traditional fabrication and casting techniques. Currently based in Savannah, she graduated with a BFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2021. She fell in love with creating jewelry because of its potential to reveal how the wearer sees themselves and the world around them. In that vein, each of her pieces is designed with a narrative in mind; some are standalone stories while others serve as chapters in a longer tale.
Collection Concept:
This series was created as a biographic look at a loved one's loss, trauma, and healing process. I wanted him to see the emotional and physical scars as something beautiful instead of reasons to feel broken. While these works center around the story of one person, we all have those chapters we wish we could erase and hope no one reads. People shouldn’t be made to feel shame around our darker tales; we can love our scars and ourselves, and be loved for both.
