PEARLY WHITE
(2011-2013)
*Exhibited at Saatchi Gallery (London)
For as long as human beings have existed, they have sought to adorn themselves with symbols of status. Animal and even human teeth were frequently worn by chiefs and high-ranking citizens to denote their status in society. The smooth, round pearl is traditionally regarded as ideal. For Pearly White, I have searched through thousands and thousands of pearls to find the few whose imperfections make them perfect for their new role. Every piece is unique and custom-made.
Material: 18ct plated Silver 925, Freshwater Cultured Pearl.
