This Great Orb (ring). On which we live. by Inga Hamilton
Through the use of readily-dismissed, low-value materials, such as seaweed and salt, I endeavour to produce desirable, high-value adornment. By instigating comparative discussion of my work with that of nonhuman-animal makers employing the same materials and techniques, such as decorator crabs, birds or dolphins, I aim to challenge the concepts of value, craft and adornment in the natural world.
