Marigolds, Horses, and a Diamond: Jill Magid's "The Proposal"
|
In a minimal black ring box with white interior cushions rests a 2-carat blue diamond set on a silver band. Unlike most, this diamond is formed from the cremated remains of Mexican architect Luis Barragán (1902–1988). The ring and its proposal are part of an intricate story involving the deceased architect, his archives, and a corporation in Jill Magid's multi-part project "The Proposal."
