About the artwork.
Georgina Treviño is a contemporary artist and jeweler form Tijuana, Mexico, based in San Diego, California. Treviño’s work intersects fashion and art jewelry— reflecting her interest in lowbrow pop culture and 1980s punk rock, as well as her roots in both Mexico and he United States. In Sacred Purse, Treviño thinks of the handbag form as a sculpture, adorning it with a variety of found charms in the form of crosses and the Virgin Mary.
