Photo-Etched Silver Ring
Eadweard Muybridge's 19th Century photography studies of the 'Body in Motion' inspired this ring. It is made from oxidised sterling silver and has been photo-etched. The photographs are from my own photography studies where I have replicated Muybridge's sequences.
Embroidery Hoops
In the ‘Three Essays on Sexuality’, Freud outlines an ‘object of desire’; where a sexual attribute is assigned to a particular object (such as the shoe or an undergarment) or a body part (such as the foot or leg) in order to fulfill a subconscious desire.
By using lace alongside the voyeuristic image of the leg I aim to draw upon connotations of underwear. The embroidery hoop is intended to be an ironic juxtaposition of imagery. In its conventional context, an embroidery hoop is seen as a traditional and innocent object where as now it has become an object of desire.
