This necklace is available for purchase or exhibition.
Necklace made of laminated plastic with vintage glass beads to mimic UPC code. This necklace is featured in a full page image in the book Art Jewelry Today 2 by Jeffry B. Snyder by Schiffer Publishing, 2008.
Amazing magnetic clasp constructed from pre-printed steel from post-consumer tin containers, brass tubing, magnets.
First necklace in a limited series of necklaces about identity in our consumer society. Each of these necklaces includes carefully constructed bar code elements which take a tremendous amount of time to construct with thin lines of black and white plastic in each element. This is just like UPC code.
The spacers are usually made from calculators and cell phones buttons. Doesn't it seem like our cell phones are becoming part of our identity that travels with us wherever we go?
Each necklace is unique.
