Natalya Pinchuk uses wool felt to represent the visceral qualities of humanity—specifically hair, pores, and genitalia—that she feels are masked by fashion and consumerism. She feels that through her felted jewelry she can reveal the body and its sexual drives.

Using lightweight commonplace materials, she creates “space consuming” jewelry with movement that becomes as much of the experience as the form.

Photo: Elizabeth Heltoft/6 Agency. (2) Verlängert Fünf (lengthened five), 2004; nylon string, nylon snaps, white silicone disks; sewn, knot-bound.

Marga van der Bos’s original creations under the name VANDERBOS are both “body wraps” and sculptures and are a departure from the traditional hats she has made for the last twenty years. The pieces are made only in black, gray, brown, and off-white; the neutral colors emphasize the form that is at the center of the design.
