Gold Wars

Galleray x Geoffrey Mac

Geoffrey Mac presents an unprecedented and highly experimental silicone and resin jewelry collection, mixing 3D printing with hand sculpting and casting. Inspiration for the line comes from the connect of dismantling guns, missiles and other weapons. A mix of 20's Art Deco and 80's Tech, it draws o science fiction films as well as the architecture in Fritz Lang's classic silent film Metropolis. Inspiration images are all about the glamorization of sci-fi and the gold female depiction of the famously male character of Darth Vader. 

[Iconography #7] Rags to Riches
Luke Haynes

This piece is constructed from reclaimed Textiles. I took Clothes and sheets discarded from the people of NY and created this quilt. The quilt is an image of both Kanye and JAy-z. I used an Image by Troy Gua for the design. The colors are White: Sheets Blue: Jeans Black: Dress Clothes It then reads like a rags to riches story. It has been quilted in metallic thread. The inspiration for Rags to Riches is non other than Kanye and Jay Z who are famously known for building wealth from their musical talents. 

 Cleverage
JKB Fletcher 

Cleverage, affectionately known as 'Superboobs' Is the corner stone painting of 'Dirty Faces'. Even though it was the third in the series to be painted it resembles the idea behind the works with such an impact it's often the first to mind when reflecting on the 'Dirty Faces' collection. The work was created for a solo show at FortyFive Downstairs in 2011, entitled 'Angels with Dirty Faces. Superheros are the heart of the American culture they are the sentuality of our minds and imaginations. Placing the Superman sign on the most sensual part of the woman's body just enforces that. The inspiration photos are sensuality and the strength and passion behind the female figure and Superman himself.
