Join us for a journey into the world of Memento Mori, where history and mortality intertwine to create deeply personal and enduring works of art. In this evocative presentation, Katie Biddle Martin of Spooky Bitch Antiques delves into the fascinating tradition of human hair mourning art and jewelry, tracing its evolution across time. Guests will have the rare opportunity to explore antique pieces showcasing a variety of intricate techniques, view selections from Katie’s teaching assemblage, and examine related objects from the Haggin Museum’s collection. It’s an unforgettable exploration of memory, loss, and beauty that still speaks to us today.
