Rebekah Frank:  Metalsmith

Exploring the repercussions of pride, this piece acts to lift the wearers chin, elongating the neck and imparting a sense of elegance to the posture at the same time that the wearer becomes inapproachable.

The piece encourages a hyper-awareness of motion and space; as long as one is conscientious of motion, there will be no discomfort to the wearer.

While the neck is protected from the advances of the public, ensconced in a bristle of inaccessibility, the wearer is isolated and aloof with preoccupations of posture and propriety.
