Notions of Femininity Standards and IdealsFall 2024/Spring 2025
These pieces I was experimenting with the hyaluronic pressing of metal forms, prong setting, alternative patina processes, enamel, and forging. I was interested in the definition of jewelry, body placement, and femininity. These pieces are open to interpretation and were more focused on enhancing and perfecting craft skills. However they still hold underlying notions of femininity standards and ideals.
