My two brooches; Up Yours! and Two Fingers Up! are made from two old Vaseline containers, the Vaseline used up, smeared on dry lips, used in private places, with personal gestures. They’re decorated with ornaments, colours and look almost delicate – but when you go in for a closer look they reveal two almost obscene finger gestures. Up Yours and Two Fingers Up are two ways of saying fuck off, get lost. Especially as women we are told that this is unseemly, not ladylike – we should behave like fragile flowers, when sometimes all you want to do is scream, or tell people to get lost. So say it with a pretty brooch, that looks delicate and almost fragile – but screams something else.
