The Color of Jade



monotype print / 2024



The Color of Jade series is inspired by hand-carved jade pendants, which come in a wide variety of hues, including green, red, black, and white. Wearing jade is often seen as a form of protection. It is said that if the jade you wear or carry breaks, then it succeeded in keeping you safe. 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.
