Tiffany Parbs work looks to broaden and augment definitions of jewellery, and to challenge and extend the medium in the public arena. Parbs is a jeweller who works in close contact with the body, exploring cosmetic surgery through ephemeral gently manipulated changes to the skin.

Looking at her works reminded me of Lauren Kalman, who also works in close connection with the body and skin.
