concept
A unique visual interpretation of animal anatomy, emerging into a collection of sculptural headgear that appears as natural property of the human body, evoking strength, power and sensuality. Seeking to create an 8 piece collection of personal adornment that challenges traditional accessories context, to generate a ‘new breed’ of precious objects. The collection explores concepts of mutation and evolution in developing a contemporary cross-image of human and animal, an atemporal, supreme creature, beyond past and future.
