When i die my body does not die with me. It awaits and transforms with the spreading paleness of stiffness. Like an arctic winter landscape each day draws closer and closer to the state of frozen.

The process of rigidity does not subdue until the final state in reached: stillness.

Sue Ellen is Fine by  Helen Clara Hemsley

Beautiful Beast designed by Martín Azúa and made by the jeweller Roc Majoral.

 When I was a child I observed with placid terror how spiders manipulated their prey. A ritual as relentless as refined that i have tried to reproduce in a piece of jewelry. Normally jewels are kind objects, but in this case they have a different role; it is something dangerous to be handled with great care. It is a golden spider with 8 very sharp flexible legs. A temporal piercing which incorporates pain as an unavoidable aspect of the jewel. The process of fastening is almost surgical, the skin is disinfected, it is applied and it is removed with a small mechanical artefact. The process is not free of danger and pain. Beauty hurts and requires an act of bravery and submission. The jewel possesses and controls you as the spider with its prey.
