A trip to India and
Asia made me more
sensitive to our society
the self-satisfaction,
comfort, and
tasteless luxury which
enters everywhere in
our daily way of life. I
use coins and notes to
create jewels, purses,
cuffs, which denounce
the pretentious, arrogant
and frivolous
character of the fineries
and other fashionable
accessories worn
by the mass of conventional
people.
