My Mother's Jewels is a departure for the Ithaca area photographer, whose work has primarily been of landscapes and botanical scenes. The idea for this new series began with her desire to photograph treasured pieces of jewelry handed down to her from her mother – a ring that she designed from stones that her father had collected while overseas and a cameo necklace that her mother had passed down to her.
After talking with friends about the project, Laurie found that they too had jewelry from their mothers that they would like to have photographed. The portraits are presented to suggest and remind the viewer of the value, meaning, grace, and love that can be passed on through our mothers’ jewels.
