Bird Necklace from Julia deVille exhibit collection
"Death is a taboo subject. We're so obsessed with looking young, finding ways to prolong life. We need to remember that every day is important, life is important. I want to inspire people to contemplate their own mortality, in a positive way. I'm not a morbid person, but I'm not afraid of acknowledging that I'm mortal." - Julia deVille, discemori.com
Blackbird necklace from This Must Be Made By Idiots collection
“Animals are reborn to remind people of the life they lived, but also to suggest an alternative history, in which they rule the world. The resemblance to the archetypes known from fables and fairytails is obvious. From a similar moral perspective Idiots criticizes the contemporary way of life, although the representation of these famous stories is not the duo’s main aspiration. If one can speak of a certain objective in Idiots’ art it is to bring people closer to an honest perception of reality pictured through a lens of critical fantasy.” - This Must Be Made By Idiots, idiots.nl

No no no no!!!
Disturbing and scary...
I love feathers, but having an entire bird attached to my neck is a bit much. Though, in some odd morbid way, the first choker is kind of cool, but just not on me!
hehe, i'm chuckling at the photoshopped nips...
strangely enough, i'm totally infatuated with the first dead bird necklace...
LOL -- isn't that hilarious! That's the way the image appears on their homepage. Apparently, dead birds are okay but nips are not.
I know its not very PC of me, but I do love Julia's work. I would wear it, although I don't know where. Perhaps in a darkened library while I write my great novel.
