Joe Pillari’s work is a collaboration of fragmented experiences- a recollection of colors, the feeling of an embrace, or the tenderness of a final goodbye that employees the mechanics of nostalgia to evokes feelings of love, longing, comfort, and loss. Pillari creates jewelry objects that function as permanent reliquaries for these moments by rendering them in enamel and vitreous paint, allowing the wearer to engage in a sympathetic association with the work.
