Inspiration

"Anti-Mass" by British artist and sculptor, Cornelia Parker

Anti-Mass by British artist and  sculptor Cornelia Parker, charcoal and wire, at the De Young Museum, San Francisco inspired Jill for  the special creation Jolly.

"When Discarded to Divine then contacted FAMSF director of public programs Renee Baldocchi, the two organizations collaborated to create the annual preview  event, encouraging participants to draw inspiration from the Museums'  collections and special exhibitions"
