Constellation of Her — Mixed Media Memorial Wall Art

Mixed-Media Memorial Wall Art

Constellation of Her
2024
Wood, resin, pigment

This mixed‑media piece holds deep personal significance. A collection of resin circles is arranged within a black wooden frame, each one carrying its own texture, tone, and quiet presence. Several of the circles are infused with Ally’s ashes — a way of holding her close through material, form, and light. The resin softens and suspends the particles, creating subtle variations that feel both intimate and expansive.

The circles vary in size and finish, shifting between soft metallics and muted neutrals. Their arrangement creates a constellation‑like rhythm, a sense of movement across the surface that invites slow looking. The dark wood base grounds the composition, offering structure and contrast while allowing the resin forms to feel weightless.

This piece is part of my ongoing exploration of memorial art — how materials can hold memory, connection, and presence without relying on overt symbolism. It’s a quiet tribute, built from the belief that love can be carried forward through the things we make with our hands.
