       Big Hoops to Fill is a large-scale sculpture designed by artist Ja'Hari Ortega (she/her), a Boston-based sculptor and jewelry maker. The artwork features two outsized golden bamboo hoop earrings -also known as "door-knocker" earrings- that function as interactive swings. Cast from fiberglass with steel interior supports, the earrings hang from a swing set that echoes one the artist grew up playing on in Roxbury, MA.

       Ortega's sculpture draws upon the cultural weight of bamboo hoop earrings, an iconic style of jewelry worn by many women of color that originated out of early hip-hop culture and fashion, worn by performers such as Salt-N-Pepa, MC Lyte, Roxanne Shanté, and Queen Latifah, and featured in song lyrics by LL Cool J.

       @DaNanner This is in BOSTON? I find that offensive. This belongs in the Bronx. We shall come in the night and take it.

       @futurebird Are you familiar with Tiff Massey's work? Detroit sculptor who had a DIA show last year with colossal versions of kiddie barrettes, hair ties, other small ephemera. Reminds me of this.https://detroitartreview.com/2024/05/seven-mile-and-livernois-the-detroit-institute-of-art/@DaNanner
