Curator's Comment
Joanne Weil was passionate about travel but always took steps to live close to her family. Early in her career, she declined a job at a government agency that would have required her to keep her location a secret. “What she cared about, and who she cared about, were what was important to her,” Joanne’s mother attested. As a pastime, Joanne searched for unique beads and antique glass to craft into jewelry. After 9/11, family and friends wore Joanne’s creations in her memory.
