Bling!

By  Lucy Wright 2017

The artist

A series of sculptures and an artist’s video exploring the seductive, optimistic qualities of ‘bling.’ Borrowing the aesthetics and techniques of YouTube ‘DIY’ vloggers, the practice of ‘hand-blinging’ is re-imagined as a 21st century folk art, via unlikely ‘blinged out’ objects and scenarios. Bling! was exhibited at Bank Street Arts in April 2017.
