Mixed media original, this super bold piece has dramatism, intensity and merges solid copper, pearls and polymers with nickel silver African beads in an absolutely strong contrast.
The beads, reproductions of ancient turquoise upper asia beads -Tibet, Nepal- have each one a different texture, made in a base of pigmented polymers with a permanent patina that recreates time and age one by one. The focal element holds also a polymer piece that has chocolate cultured pearls in some of its caves, mixing sophisticated, rustic and modern.
BOLD, would totally change the small black dress transforming it from a dull look into a dramatic one.
It measures around the neck 21 inches approx.
The pictures where the piece rests on the bust show how Bold it is, how it sits on the neck and the chest covered area since it is a real human size mannequin.
