A piece I’m hoping to turn into a print for a local art market! I’ve nicknamed it “Karabiner Kisses”
For context, it’s a chatelaine, essentially a vintage keychain, hooked onto a carabiner, a symbol of sapphic communities! There’s also a few other hidden symbols!
Everything comes back eventually

the partnership between efficiency and fashion peaked with the chatelaine. society failed the day we stopped using it.
who are we fooling? humanity craves the chatelaine. it is why we have big ass clunky rings with charms and keychains and tools.
why must we hide our silly gizmos and cute keychains in pockets and purses??
stop fooling yourselves. bring back the chatelaine 👏👏👏
