Erum Javed
Here, in the photo of Erum, she has a collar around her neck. It is constructed from silver thread as are the “collars” around the sculptures. Note the silvery dress which was made from stiff material which holds its form … the dress seems to be a sculpture in the same vein as her porcelain bowls. Bravo!
