A moment of clarity in an otherwise mind boggling degree, I have really enjoyed looking at the vast array of artists and their interpretation of the object. Laura Gonzales, a fabulous lecturer and artist who explores the seduction of objects with psychoanalysis in her practice.

her interests in the relation of our relationships with people in the world and objects, psychoanalysis investigations HOW and WHY we change our relationship towards an object.
A functionally illegitamate piece of jewelery...her work makes us question the context of the object. What makes an object seductive and the viewer seduced? Obselete of function...well, it depends how brave the cosumer is willing to be. The matter of the fact is, the artist is not trying to sell the objects she is sculpting, more assesing our material relationship with the world and in how we cosume to express our own sexuality.
