According to philosopher and cultural theorist Jean Baudrillard,
“any collection comprises a succession of items, but the last in the set is the person of the collector…For what you really collect is always yourself.”
In my jewellery practice, I prefer making earrings above all else. It is the making of small sculptures that has captured my heart and my hands. I own an eclectic earring collection encompassing varying styles, historical periods, materials and artists. Reflecting on the words of Baudrillard, there are many selves in my earring collection.
