Solid silver Egg ring bitten by a woman.
Inspired by Jasper Johns' painting Painting Bitten by a Man
This is a favourite artwork of mine. I’ve never seen it in person, but when I first lay eyes on an image of it I was in love. It’s visceral, it’s textural, it’s material and it’s quirky AF. ... Another reason I was likely drawn to the work was for the familiar colour and finish of the wax. I use a soft brown wax for many of my pieces, I can achieve a fluidity with it as it warms up with my hands and becomes malleable.
I like to make sense of things. I like to dissect and understand the process and makings of things and though I haven’t quite made sense of how Jasper bit into this work, I feel like I can see him doing it.. if not, feel like I did it myself. ...
