Inspired by prehistoric interpretation of ornamentation and the use of shells as jewellery, this installation invites you to find
value in the commonplace. Using simple methods and non-precious materials to produce adornments, the necklace becomes irresistible and precious, holding a tempting
tactile presence. Surrounded by gruesome yet beautiful shell forms that inspire the joy of treasure seeking – the impulse to find, collect and hoard.
