Unzicker

As a child, I was taught to be quiet and not express myself even though I noticed creativity flowing through my grandmother’s fingers in the form of quilt-making. I find my voice when I create art. I enter a meditative state in the intricate linking of chain mail one ring at a time. When knitted with thin metal wire and small rings this masculine, war-like material becomes extremely soft. I create seductive, wearable objects combining jewelry techniques with the chain mail to caress the female body. To lay the transparent veil of chain mail on a woman invokes a sense of security and a feeling of empowerment. It represents the ceremony of ritual taken on for a specific event. I look to Alexander McQueen as fashion and art merge in his performance like fashion shows.
