Crown (SOLD) was created for
'Animal
bones have played a special role in adornment from hunter-gatherer
times until now. In ancient China they were decorated with inscriptions
and put to the flame in a practice of divination; a way of communicating
with their Gods. Many cultures believe people embody the traits of
different animals.
Jewellers,
artisans and designers have been given a found bone and instructed to
adorn it in a masculine way, or use the bone when producing a piece of
adornment for men, especially jewellery ...
The exhibition is a comment on the current explosion of body adornment, both permanent and temporary, as seen in fashion today.'
