In FLAWLESS, Martz creates a classic necklace design in unconventional materials to question assumptions made about aging women and vanity.

“Silicone has been cast to resemble classically cut gemstones and prong-set into a pendant necklace, suggesting evocative context for “costume jewelry” in which a woman’s aging body is divorced from personhood and judged only by what hangs from it.”

— Holly Ballard Martz
