Silver for jewellery can be reclaimed from old x-ray film! This piece is a single stud earring using this reclaimed silver cast in the shape of a bone. Bringing together X-rays as a signifier of injury and reforming the metal into a whole bone recalls the bodies ability to heal and renew itself
The pieces are sandcast from an original model, this processes introduces subtle variations so no two are exactly alike.
This work is from the Art Vending Machine, 2023 curation, and comes packaged in a bespoke (cigarette packet-sized) box. Select Large Letter option for postage.
