The Color of Jade #7, monotype print on Hahnemühle paper community The Asian Diasporic Zodiac exploresThe Color of Jade series is inspired by hand carved jade pendants and their wide varying hues. Wearing jade is often seen as a form of protection. It is said that if the jade you wear breaks, it is protecting you from something worse happening. My first pendants came from my mother, who brought them from Taiwan when her family immigrated to the United States. For me, jade has come to be a symbol of cultural stewardship and community protection.
