Some works seem to pay homage to social media, like Mario Petrirena's floor installation of photographic collages encircled by
rusted iron rings suggestive of Google Plus's circles.
Jennifer Trask, October Necklace, 2002, fabricated and constructed 18k royal gold, 18k green gold, 14k palladium, 22k gold with swallowtail, monarch, queen, and silvery checkerspot butterfly wings; yellow soil from Verona, Italy and Spain; red soil from Arizona;
ring - necked pheasant feathers; guinea fowl feathers;
iron filings; black sand; and
rusted steel in mineral crystal and reticles.
For the table, I pulled out my favorite dishes - blue and white Spode, then added my rattan woven chargers,
rust and navy napkins with wrought
iron rings and used some wrought
iron votive candles.
