IN THE WINDOW:
Carrie Chisholm
“Mademoiselle Inaccessible”
This work represents an enlarged set of Chanel earrings from their ‘Mademoiselle’ series. In its original form, this product is exquisitely crafted from precious materials, exclusive to all except the few who can afford it, and therefore unattainable to the average person. The piece has been removed from its original source material and reimagined as both larger than life, and slightly imperfect due to the abnormal scale and evidence of a handmade quality fabricated out of commonly found and accessible materials such as paint and cardboard. The hope is that this new version may result in a more accessible and amusing viewing experience for its audience.
