Gender Blender
Gender theorist Judith Butler claims that gender is a performed social construction we are born into and copy form our parents and surroundings, but not something we necessarily have a choice about how we enact in life. This project is interrogating this idea by enabling the wearer to ‘try on’ their gender in a fictional wardrobe full of jewellery items, which embody stereotypically gendered body parts. Offering them the accessories to change it or enhance it, depending on how they feel or want to appear. The pieces are inspired by breasts, hips, balls, broad shoulders and the adam’s apple but also adorn ares which normally get cosmetically modified to fit into social expectations like the armpit, the nails and the ear canal.
