JENNIFER VALMADRE | 'Neck Jelly' | 2025 | Silicone

'Jelly Wise'

"Essentially, this body of work is the result of my interest in merging drawing and object-making together into a wearable medium. I like the idea of a material that is not associated with adornment and settled on roofing silicone, transforming it into something intimate, rather than industrial. Jellys are the fun of making my doodles wearable." - Jennifer Valmadre
