It's mid-summer 1989, and I'm about eight years old. This pre-screen world doesn't offer much entertainment, so I must create my own. Today, I'm a chef in my backyard kitchen, and at the top of the menu are backyard berry mud pies with yellow flower-covered cupcakes on the side. I spend hours picking the berries, enough to fill a Tupperware bowl I stole from my mom's actual kitchen. I sift dirt for flour and mix in found seeds and crushed leaves as crucial ingredients to this conjured-up concoction. My hard day's work yields earthy pastries almost too pretty to eat. But I don't dare eat them; even at 8, I know enough to be wary of nameless wild berries in my backyard.
It would be another 30-something years till I found out those bright red backyard berries were, in fact, edible. Beyond that, I'd finally learn them by name, the Mock Strawberry. It's not a native wild strawberry but a naturalized little displaced relative from southern Asia.
I can't recall why this backyard berry popped into my mind not too long ago. I remember laying my head down on my pillow and the zoomed-in image of its texture, and then a flood of memories of what I now know as foraging came to me. I knew I had to capture that texture, but more than that, I wanted an excuse to dig deeper into something so woven into my first memories of play and creativity outside. I imagine little hands have been picking bright red berries from fields for fun since our beginning. It feels like a shared memory that goes beyond my old backyard across space and time, and something about that feels beautifully human and profoundly connected.
I created this ring to capture some of the magic of backyard baking and foraging before we knew what to call it.
Made by hand in our South Louisiana studio. Each piece varies slightly due to its handmade nature.
