The design for the Talisman side plate is based off the design imprinted into a sando strawberry cookie. With a ring inside another ring, it makes me think about circular calendars, like those which you can rotate and change the image that appears with every season. The way that the circles interlock feels very grounding to me, so I called it talisman. Talisman are objects that are lucky, like a four-leaf clover or yellow underwear. I am very interested in the idea of making my own talisman through art and iconography.
