Designed to be worn as an antidote to anxiety. A beautiful heavy weighted ring covered in a collage of artworks. Designed in collaboration with renowned NZ artist Andrew McLeod. 9ct Yellow Gold with Oxidised finishing. Cast into existence as a beautifully dark antidote to extreme anxiety, the unique silence that follows the shattering of glass, and the alarm of the slogan shouted loud. A face mapping the awe of the vega star, tracing the zodiac, picked out with far-distant crescent moons, a token to serve as a reminder of the relief brought by acceptance of fallibility, the bliss of release, where the trigger becomes the cure. Mcleod, a renowned New Zealand artist, is known in part for his varied and impressive output spanning works in oil and digital print through to zines and textiles. Whichever medium Mcleod chooses, random objects float in an imaginary world where perspective, weight and shadow do not exist, always with a sense of his discombobulated view of society. It has been said that his work exists on the cusp of a dream state and a neurotic episode. Each ring is a visual battleground of harmony and dissonance, seamed with a dark humour from within the shared deeply creative mindsets and aesthetics of the co creators.
