Sterling Silver, African Opal, Hematite
According to Norwegian superstition, raven-stone, or Hematite, grants the wearer invisibility at will. Opal is also imparted with mystical properties, including powers of invisibility. This garment is intended to grant its wearer invisibility, along with the freedom and limitations inherent in not being seen.

Sugar & Spice is a feminist response to the early and persistent association of the cupcake with females--evident in the expression ‘cupcake’ and in the proliferation of cupcake imagery on baby girls’ clothing. The displacement of breasts presents cupcakes as fetish objects. Further invoking male fantasy and conjuring images of women jumping out of cakes at bachelor parties are the red pasties. Not only do they stand in for cherries, which are cupcakes’ characteristic topping, but they play on the sexualized slang term ‘cherry'.
Oversized and oversexed, these cupcakes allude to women’s body issues like augmentation and gluttony. Also referenced is the (sometimes conflicting) dual role of breasts, as providing sustenance and sexual pleasure. This duality is visually represented by icing that consists of juxtaposed fragments of lingerie and baby dresses, which are virtually indistinguishable because of their shared feminine signifiers (namely the colour pink, sensual fabric, and floral imagery).
