Jewellery line. The Naked Room Gallery. Curators: Lisa German, Masha Lanko. Part of a utilitarian series related to household chores and labour, consisting of various attributes and armour of a housewife. Herculine is an asteroid named after Hercules, but in the feminine form; its shape resembles a white soap remnant. All jewellery is made from found objects: antique beads, Scythian gold and silver, fragments of ancient jewellery, connected by silver and gold constructions. The soap beads are hard to distinguish from stones or frosted glass. They are designed to wash away over time, gradually altering the piece’s appearance.
