About the Maker(s)
Anne Petrimoulx Growing up near Detroit, Anne Petrimoulx has always had an obsession with urban decay and the sad beauty of unloved cityspaces. She eventually comined this love with her passion for disassembling and re-purposing jewelry: taking bits and pieces of the city and repurposing them as jewelry, because shards of trash and decay look better on a necklace than on the street. When not picking through gutters, she is a graduate student in information studies at UT Austin, where she spends all her time and money learning how to preserve history.
