SaraBeth Post’s Settings and Findings:
 
The impact of 2020’s attention on the not-new horrific treatment to Black bodies, Black persons, Black spirit, and absolute injustice propelled me to use glass jewelry as a means to raise money and awareness for David McAtee, Jacob Blake, Quawan Charles, and organizations supporting Black LGBTQ. These men and too too many more have died by the hands of brutal police enforcement. The first call to my followers on instagram was an exchange, their monetary donation for a handblown glass necklace secured by knots on a rubber cord.
As a response to the visible fundraising I have facilitated during the pandemic, in necessity to raise awareness of the lack of Black acceptance in America, the beautiful matt lambert has invited me to set a mood ushering others to their seat at the table through my wearable work.
 
My finding lies here; a cord of empathy, a notion to help, the will to harness transparency.
 
As an artist who works with craft and a healer who works with energy, I seek to combine my abilities to create objects that give power to the person it adorns in a spiritual way. The setting is shared space between the physical and etheric/subtle body. Glass is an insulator. I view these worn elements as protective in two ways, first insulating the energy of the wearer and second a force field that disables penetrative external forces of energy. The necklaces exist in the world as a physical interpretation of our etheric bond to the universal life force. Each person that has one of my handblown glass necklaces, acquired through a monetary donation for the family of the Black lives that were unjustly murdered, has in their power a wearable symbol signifying themselves as an active spirit in the scientific and spiritual vibration of universal consciousness.
