Artist Statement:
A sailor's valentine is a form of shellcraft, mostly of souvenir or sentimental seashells as a gift. Originally made between 1830 and 1890, they were designed to be brought home from a sailor's voyage at sea and given to the sailor's loved one or loved ones. This is an homage to that craft.
