cocktail sticks and cotton buds . . .

This was a construction project where we were only allowed to use low tech materials, in my case cocktail sticks and cotton buds. I created a sort of Archimedes Twist style piece that I later developed into body adornments with the theme of restriction and restraint. The concept was all about the way fashion promotes people contorting their bodies and enduring pain to look 'beautiful'



. . . and yes, I spent an entire day drilling holes through cocktail sticks!
