Barbie Dolls Jewelry Designs By Margaux Lange
|
“Often my work utilizes Barbie as an archetype to analyze all that this icon has come to symbolize. Sometimes, I aim to distance myself and critique pop culture in this way, and other times I wish to engage and participate in it. Much like my own experience with womanhood: a series of rejecting and embracing prescriptive roles and stereotypes.”
Margaux Lange, is represented by several art jewelry galleries and retail boutiques around the world from New York City, to Scotland, Australia, Russia and many more. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Maryland Institute College of Art. ”Margaux Lange’s Plastic Body Series art jewelry collection utilizes salvaged Barbie doll parts in combination with sterling silver and pigmented resins. The series is a result of Lange’s desire to re-purpose mass-produced materials into handmade, wearable art. It is meant to examine and celebrate her own as well as pop culture’s relationship with the icon known simply as: Barbie.”
