Three hand-shaped sterling silver rings have been placed on a pewter tray which is engraved with a scene of sea monsters. The three rings were inspired by a dream-like universe: “Fake it 'til you die. That’s the secret to success, and perfect teeth. Make stuff and be curious. Scream when a train goes by.”

Pierce has engraved this oxidised sterling silver ring by hand with patterns inspired by a fantastical universe: “Beware, these magical rings make your lies come true. Come away with me, we’ll fly through the trees at dawn and cast spells on the politicians. We don’t need money, we’ll sing for bread and jam and coffee, and live like pirates. Meet me at the sea’s edge, or a Dublin pub”.

This oxidised sterling silver ring was engraved by hand. “Your being is a collection of self-organising atoms. You don’t see this order as beauty, because you perceive only the function: your lumpy body. But that is quite the feat: you are perfect and unbearably beautiful and also impervious to that perfect beauty. Wear your indifference like armour.”

This oxidised sterling silver ring was engraved by hand. “Earthly burdens for beasts of all kinds. An oversized, wearable topography of scored cuts, etched layers, raised lumps and torn bumps, and your map to the edge of the volcano. Pocked, lined, and gouged, like your ego on Sunday morning.”
