Everything can be translated into jewelry. Everything has some jewelry language in it. Four years ago, my aunt gave me this purse made of metal. Super heavy. And I started looking in vintage shops for all-metal purses. Mexico has a lot of them. Some look like they’re from the ’50s, ’60s or even ’70s. Every time I see one, I’ll buy it because I’m just so attracted to them.Not much documentation exists about the voice of the barrio. So artist Gary Garay dug deep in the crates to fill the void.
I’m super into fashion. I’m a hoarder of clothes in general — vintage and accessories. From collecting these metal purses, I got the idea that I wanted to make my own: sculptures that were wearable but could still exist as fashion objects. I started repurposing purses and adding different elements, just like having fun with it.I did a residency in January, in North Carolina. And I started making a brass purse.
Styling/direction: Georgina Treviño. Photography: Max Alo. Styling assistant: Marissa Channing. Hair: Jocelyn Vega. Makeup: Maya Sruoch. Production assistant: Erica Joan. Location: ALIAS Pro Studio. So for this purse, I added images of things that I see in the streets. I am also using jewelry elements from jewelry that I’ve made before. It’s kind of like this collage of jewelry elements. The use of silver is also important because it’s a precious metal. Silver has also been used since ancient times to bring balance into your life or protect from negativity, bring calm. Then there’s the object itself — you could see through the bag literally. There’s a transparency there.
