Currently Obsessed With: Repulsive Jewelry

"Fumifobia" Collar Necklace

Take a handful of objects that repel people (like cigarettes, x-acto knives, rusty nails, rabbit poop, and syringes) and combine them with some art school talent and you get "Repel," a collection of necklaces designed by Alexandra Chaney that are striking from a distance and equally striking closeup. And, while totally impractical as wearable pieces, I expect to see some amazing things from her in the future! Check out this video to see the entire collection:

I was expecting to dislike the POV of the artist, so I'm glad you shared the video. I really understand and appreciate where she is going with this art. And who knew how much fun it would be to say "Yakima Herald"!

Horrendous! Yet it makes me re-think these objects. Even though I object to them.

I love this, really makes you think about what these decorative objects are meant to be.
