Neck-laced
Grenade acknowledges the grenade as
an archetype for the abundance of war. The artwork contrasts the complexities
of fragility and violence. The context in which the object of adornment is worn
or displayed is intended to provoke a dialogue preformed by the viewer in which
meaning is attached and conversation becomes open.
