sadly, I'm not able to post the photos directly to this blog without permission from the artist, but it's worth the time following the link.

I came across this crazy lady today... she focuses her work on the features and surface of the body. She says the main idea of her work is to "invite examination of articles allowed into intimate space, to encourage the view to reassess and reconsider the jewelry object in direct relation to the body and to promote expanded definitions of jewelry." Basically she want's to open new doors relating to what the concept of jewelry is.

Her artwork is very strange and groundbreaking, which I find very appealing. I'm fascinated by how she chooses to use imperfections of the skin and body to rebel against the concept of body enhancements like plastic surgery and cosmetics.
