in 2003 emily watson completed her mfa at the state university of new york in new paltz, ny. the metal attachables pictured below were part of a larger series for her mfa exhibition, ‘the graphic body’. the exhibition explored “how our systems of knowing change when translated to physical sensation.”
watson’s curiosity about our desire to adorn and her belief that western jewelry limits the body zones that are acceptable for adornment – wrist, neck, chest, ear, finger – led her to create the collection of magnetic ‘attachables’ that can be worn over and under clothing on any part of the body you deem appropriate.
