Excerpt:

When Amber Robles-Gordon was a young girl, growing up in Northern Virginia, she was one of those kids that always found something. 
"The pretty one earing, or the bracelet that broke," she says. "I remember thinking, I'm lucky!" 
Robles-Gordon could tell that these things were still valuable. And as she got older and started doing mixed media work out of her studio in Anacostia, those sorts to trinkets found their way into the canvas.
