These pieces provide a visual form to the psychological concept of 'attachment issues'. The sharpened claws at the ends of the structure attach to the body via tension as well as by slightly gripping and piercing the skin of the wearer. The size is relational to the extremes of the attachment; smaller pieces equal a lesser formed attachment i.e. a friend or acquaintance, and is hardly noticed by the wearer. The larger the piece is, the more violent the attachment to the body. This relates to a stronger perhaps unhealthy portrayal of attachment to another. 

The violent nature of the works attachment to the body leaves marks on the skin even after the piece is removed, further adding to the conceptual nature of the piece and it's visual representation of a usually psychological experience of affect. 

I am currently experimenting with even larger forms. The pieces are able to be worn in performance, as well as stand on their own as sculpture with an implied relation to the body. 

The concept of having attachment issues directed onto another person or object, as well as someone else having those attachment issues towards you,  is something that can exist in life, but continue past death.
