- Odile: Are you serious, right now? These pieces of “art” are creepy as hell. And it’s apparent you don’t “get” sarcasm. I would think twice before approaching anyone with little doll pieces hanging from them. It is super creepy. And apparently you have no life either, because you are commenting on it as well. And I like my jewelry to not make me look like a serial killer. They’re no unique, they’re grotesque and disturbing.
Creepy… but Cool

“ Very cool. I’d probably wear most of these pieces. I totally understand the strange duality of our relationship to Barbie dolls. Mutilation of Barbies can be viewed as a depiction of violece against women but usually I think it is a conscious rejection of the negative body image and stereotyping she perpetuates.
(At least, that’s what it was when my best friend and I made a ‘bloody crime scene’ of Barbies with scissors and red nail polish and took photos in grade 6. Mature enough to no longer play with dolls and beginning to understand the way women’s bodies are judged and bossed around by society, what we did felt like a rite of passage of sorts. But our feminist mothers were understandably disturbed by the imagery.)

“ Love love love. I never was even a big Barbie girl but she’s such an icon of our culture and consumerism at that time that I think wearing dismembered parts of the dolls around as jewelry is very eery and powerful, and speaks a lot to the idea of beauty and normalcy that Barbie originally represented. I dig the butt bracelet. And I think the mouths are great. The first one is awesome too. The hand earrings I wish I could just buy right now. These could either be on my body or in the MOMA and I would be pleased.

“ Okay, I was prepared to hate these but I am sortof embarrased to admit I kindof like them. The heart one out of the boobs is kindof cool. I mean, I’m not saying I’d wear it, but…
“ Seem kind of…serial killer-y.

- I own some of these cute pieces as I also collect Barbie dolls limited editions. This is not freaky or creepy or anything, it is just an expression of a very dedicated and professional artist! it is amazing!!
- The huge issue is that some people like to complain about anything and everything for the useless reason of calling the attention with meaningless comments or insults with not valid foundation, I have seen awful comments in all kind of blogs, postings, even blogs in science and anthropology or news about horrible catastrophes, Some people just don’t have the common sense to say something useful or at least nice. About these Barbie jewelry pieces I think they are awesome… thinking of growing my collection : )
“ like it or hate it – you will remember it and probably talk about it!
the creative artist couldn’t ask for better than that.

“ art challenges the conventional. Using an object of pop culture and an object used by children such as barbie dolls and challenging/ transforming their meaning may seem “creepy” to some. changing the context of idealism and what it means to be idealistic is interesting. instead of striving to be like an ideal of beauty (or a barbie doll) you adorn yourself with many. i also think the negative shapes created in between the parts of the metal and the plastic are self referential, being that they are star or heart shaped (something that you would find on a Barbie box). These pieces are aesthetically beautiful, they mirror and simultaneously challenge a western idea of adornment and beauty that children have grown up to accept.
“ I love these…great fun! But they are from “dismembered” Barbies. Not “disembodied”. Disembodied means “without a body”, like a ghost or spirit. Maybe Barbie has a spirit…but you couldn’t make jewellery out of it.
“ I’m glad to discover this artist and as soon as I see on the web, she lives from her art, which is admired and sold in the whole world. In Paris, freaky is beautiful, nobody wants to be like the next, and her jewels are one of a kind!
It’s not cheap but I will purchase a piece ASAP, it’s a really wonderful work … I can’t believe people lost their time to leave bad comments, don’t you have a life ?

“ No doubt, I think this artist is completely disturbed.

“ They’re creepy. The ones with the couple’s kissing aren’t too terrible but the rest… well most of them look like training for a young serial killer.

“ Creative but creepy
“ yup, this really creeped me out! I would probably think twice about going out with someone wearing this jewelry!
