positive/negative wearable sculpture
positive/negative wearable sculpture
2023, polymer clay, stainless steel fastening and chain,
120 x 20 x 20mm (approx.) 100 individual pieces.
positive/negative seeks to create a new context for the powerful, grief laden forms of Safe Space. Instead of being an imprint of fear, in positive/negative the fist is a symbol of strength and resistance, and resilience that draws on the long history of the raised fist in activism movements throughout the 20th century spanning the labour, Bla(c)k Power, feminist, and liberation movements.
These wearable sculptures can be used as a necklace, displayed in the home, and attached to keys or a bag. Each comes with a numbered certificate, signed by the artist. By wearing this you are acting in solidarity with the movement to end gender-based violence within a generation.
50% of profit will be donated to the Women’s and Girls’ Emergency Centre.
