I am really intrigued by this. It is uncomfortable but beautiful and intricate. It is an art piece that can be understood on some level by anyone, one does not need to have taken art history or philosophy of art to understand it. ( I have a thorough dislike of purely conceptual art)
One question I would love to have answered………………..where on earth did she find all those pins?
very original
Brilliant. So slyly complex and seductive, and that the overall work borders on banal makes it even more so. Can death be caused by millions of minute pin pricks? Iron Maiden vs. Bonnets of Pain? Is it a work of obsessive/compulsive craftyness or soothing repetitive therapy? Is it more fun to make, wear or view? Does it matter?
i like the ideas but…. hate those displaying box things !! 🙁 they make the works ugly! Why not change them to more simple and transparent like glass ones?
