You Dirty Beast: Engraved Skate Skin & Gold-Plated Brass
Marta’s process-led collection explores 'civilised' society’s threshold of disgust towards the animal body. Transforming rejected fish skin into abstract pieces inspired by objects – such as napkins and handkerchiefs – associated with status and domesticity, her work straddles the boundary between desirable and grotesque, familiar and alien, 'civilised' and 'savage'. By integrating these dualities, she creates pieces that confront us with the uncomfortable liminal space between human and animal, a visceral reminder of how disconnected we have become from our animal origins.

🚁 I’m selling some rings for £30, everything will be going to Medecins Sans Frontieres… 🚁
They're providing Covid staff training, medical supplies, isolation and testing facilities for harsh environments like war-zones and refugee camps, and to developing countries with health care systems more limited than ours.
They're also ensuring that vulnerable people around the world – migrant workers, homeless, those with mental health conditions – have access to hand-washing, food and medical care
Any takers, DM me ;) 🎣 (/covid-19-depth)
