When Hillary Doe commented on a recent post about Angela Gerhard she mentioned Object Fetish, an art jewelry gallery that is carrying Angela’s work (kudos Angela!). I had to take a peek. There is a lot to look at on the website – my first scan of the jewelry uncovered these gems by Caractere duo Gema Barrera & Pascal Cretin. The creative collaborators found an ingenious use for suction cups! Suction cups!
Spoutnik Bangle
Butterfly Earrings
Elastica Double Suction Cup Bracelet
Create a poetic and emotional jewel from a banal functional object as a suction-cup. Define its function and utility to extract it of its reality. Imagine new proposals in order to give it a new life. Move it from the Inexpressive to the Expressive, from the Useful to the Futile, from the Function to the Fiction.
Have fun poking around the website. Thanks Hillary!
Aren’t these fantastic?!!! I’ve been eyeing them for a while now.
