Silver Nipple Ring & the Comfort Breast Quilt.
I created a silver nipple ring as my contribution to this wonderful art project by Lois Blackburn.
Lois Blackburn, artist created a quilt for exhibition and education using contributers experiences and stories around their breasts. Every woman's narrative is different.
Silver Nipple Ring. Made for artist Lois Blackburn's Comfort Breast
Enter the extraordinary creative world of contemporary Jewellery designer maker Colette Hazelwood... Her startling contribution to the #ComfortQuilt is shown here. Colette writes about the piece: "I’m a Contemporary Jewellery Designer maker, so textiles is usually out of my comfort zone.
With this in mind I decided to play to my strengths and make a Silver Nipple Ring. Not the pierced ones we’re all familiar with, but a literal Silver Nipple Ring - a ring that looks looks a nipple.
The silver nipple ring is mounted into my ‘breast’. It’s removable so it can be worn and played with by the viewer. It’s attached to a long chain so it can be pulled through, worn and pushed back into place onto the breast.
The breast is surrounded by Barb Wire, this isn’t intended as a comment on territory, protection or boundaries - it’s simply my signature range of silver jewellery and perhaps what I’m best known for."
