Artist Laura Fedynyszyn has partnered with the Invasive Species Centre to present "Memorial for Trees Not Yet Fallen III" at Toronto’s Evergreen Brick Works. The exhibition features wreaths made from dried riverbank grapevines adorned with prints of the spotted lanternfly, an invasive insect currently threatening Ontario’s borders. Drawing inspiration from Victorian-era mourning jewelry, the installation serves as a tangible memento for an ecosystem at risk.

Hamnet-era mourning jewel from celebrated painting rediscovered after 400 years

A rare 17th-century mourning jewel, depicted in the celebrated 1635 painting 'Sir Thomas Aston at the Deathbed of His Wife' by John Souch, has been rediscovered after 400 years. The heart-shaped pendant, which contains a tassel of hair from Aston’s deceased son Robert, was identified by its current owners during a chance visit to an exhibition featuring the portrait. Valued at £650,000, the gold and enamel memento mori features intricate Latin inscriptions that were previously illegible in the painting.
