Dkhoon Necklace
2019
Dkhoon shaped like gemstones, 9kt gold chain
Showcased as part of the Royal College of Art Graduate Exhibition 2019
An interactive artwork made from dkhoon and gold, changing the narrative on how we perceive jewellery and value but also looking at reframing the visual appearance of dkhoon and co-relating it to how gemstones are shaped and formed through man made systems and structures.
Dkhoon: an incense made by combining different oils, musk, amber and oud powder to create a scent. It is a very potent tradition that has been based down by generations of woman in my family, from my grandmother to my mother and now I have learnt to create it thus using this material to reestablish what it means to my identity and genealogy.
