Brass chain offcuts, 9ct gold plated.

16 x 24 x 17cm

2015

This work expresses my sarcasm about my circumstances and decisions. I made this while still working full-time in the fashion industry. I collected these off-cut brass chains, which were of no use, and repurposed them to make a teapot that has no practical use, much like myself, who studied silversmithing but ended up making costume jewelry.
