The is a room full of pieces that are not limited by conventional concepts. Not sure what I mean?
Think about jewellery. What does it mean for you? A big diamond set in gold claws sparkling on your ring finger? Chandelier earrings bollywood style? Delicate tennis bracelet?
If you want to shake up your understanding of what makes personal accessorising, make the mental leap to a more radical perspective, look no further than a bracelet made from MacDonald's logos separated from the top of the franchise's plastic spoons. You may not choose to purchase and wear such a piece but it is jewellery.
I walked away, after studying each glass display case, thinking about how I had limited my thinking. I am redefining the scope of the materials I could use, the form and size I can play with.
