This project was for shool (THE ONTARIO COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN).
This was a real bitch to think about and even produce as it was for some super lame Calvin Klein competion. The subject matter was TIME.
The whole skanky competition was all about making the best design so dat Klein would buy it and mass produce it for his lame line of jewellery collection for CK.
The prize was only 3 thousand bucks and a hand shake given by some corporate imbecile.
I mean these nasty fuckheads go around abusing young people, young talent and da silly young people fall for it!!!!
I did the project to get my damn mark for da class but aggressively refused to put it in da Calvin Klein Show.
i was screaming at everybody "sucker ass kisser, moda fucker consummerists! how dare you all go for this shit project for a capitalist kookie fruit like Klein???
for wut??? only 3 thousand buckz?
Daz nothing, da fuckin fruit will make millions outta ur slave artizan asses and u wanna be part of this shyt just to put IT in ur resume????"
SCREW U ALL!!!!
In any case, da whole point was time, clocks, watches, shyt like this. So i thought of da moon.
You know, it will take many moons for me to kick yer stinky asses. Many moons ago life was gewd until CK capitalized from everyone.
Moons ~ Time ~ Past ~ Present
This pendant i made is a stylization of da moon,
yeah, yeah believe it or not!, use yer imagination ok!
It's an inch in diametre. Copper (dipped in patina) and Sterling Silver. Made from a mold i made in plastic then used the hydrolic press to create da hollow form. It looks like a solid piece but its hollow inside. The other side of this pendant looks exactly like this one shown here but the silver detail has a different shape. Had to use a hydrolic press so both sides would come together perfectly to solder. It has a beautiful weight when u put it in ur hand. Its a simple piece but very powerful and very 3-dimensional.
SO FUCK YOU CALVIN KLEIN!!!
Oh yeah and fuck all da teachers that kicked me out of the studio for carrying on my CK protest!!
and FUCK YOU to all da stupid lil slave ass kissers from ma' class that thought this was their 15 minutes of fame!
SCREW YOU CONSUMERISTS!
u all got sodomized by Calvin Klutz!

I think it's beautiful.
Thanks for outlining the technique behind it.
And I so totally respect the sentiment behind your statement and abhorrence of the corporate wankers...
They do this kind of shit all the time (even on DA).
The only truly positive benefit of winning such a competition is the publicity it can (sometimes) garner for an artist's work.
very very cool!!! Ummm, use imagination? okay! well, since it's copper dipped in patina perhaps it would have ben a harvest moon, but unfortunately when the conditions for a harvest moon were right, the moon happened to be in the new moon phase. and the silver is a wispy cloud floating by. Yay imagination!
