Los Angeles-based artist Alexandra Grant has created the Love
Necklace, a special edition to support Watts House Project (WHP). WHP
is an ongoing collaborative artwork led by Edgar Arceneaux, taking the
form of neighborhood redevelopment that is aimed at improving the
homes and lives of residents who live across the street from the historic
Watts Towers. The project engages art and architecture as a catalyst for
expanding and enhancing community. Generating a physical and social
infrastructure for creativity, WHP catalyzes artistic production and
community pride of place, establishing partnerships that can lead to real
solutions, hope, and change.

| The Love Necklace |
As one of these partners, Grant has designed the Love Necklace to
help raise funds to benefit Watts House Project (WHP). Grant’s work
uses language as the basis for images in painting, drawing and
sculpture. For WHP, Grant has proposed a sculpture of the word
"love" be placed on the roof of a house on 107th Street, literally
putting "love on the house." The lettering and shape of the sculpture
is copied in the Love Necklace, which embodies both the "hand-
made" and the universal aspects of love.
The Love Necklace is available in silver and gold. 100% of the profits
go to the Love House and Watts House Project.
