Statement:
This collection is primarily based on the designs of men’s accessories. Using manhood as a starting point of my research I have created a series of pieces. The main focus of the pieces has been to challenge the perceptions of traditional men’s jewellery. I have explored many aspects of men’s accessories transforming and re-establishing the purpose of them.
Using Surrealism as an inspiration, I have adopted some elements within my work; the pieces being reconstructed and extended from their original form. Although the designs are based on menswear, the pieces are aimed at neither men nor women but rather the genderless shirt from which the pieces will be worn. The shirt is the canvas for my designs.
