Overview

Contemporary: Lisa Walker

Lisa Walker is interested in how the act of wearing can transform ‘stuff’. She assembled this necklace from pencils, paperclips, and felt-tip pens – things left unpacked by her husband, the jeweller Karl Fritsch, as the pair prepared to move back to New Zealand.
