What happens to earrings when one of the pair is broken? Is one, or both, left behind, assigned to a dusty corner of a jewellery box or drawer? If the broken earring no longer functions as jewellery, can it become something else?
Left Behind is a collection of earrings, one of which has been damaged or broken. The imperfect one is dipped and coated in tinted plastic, and hung in a grid opposite it's perfect other half. The dipped earring no longer functions as jewellery but becomes something more - a body, a form. The 'perfect' earring loses it's partner, and so is, in turn, left behind.
