Alexandra Grant designed a special edition necklace (pictured below) to support the Watts House Project (WHP) ongoing neighborhood redevelopment.


WHP is an artist-driven urban revitalization project aimed at improving the homes and lives of residents who live across the street from the historic Watts Towers in south central Los Angeles through large-scale artwork engaging art and architecture as a catalyst for community enhancement.

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 elegant sterling silver or 18k gold Love Necklace, which embodies both the "hand-made" and the universal aspects of love.

As a benefit for Watts House Project, the Love Necklace is produced by Honor Fraser Gallery, LAart, and ForYourArt.
