Metabox

Kiff Slemmons works conceptually—sometimes incorporating visual puns and literary references and recontextualizing materials and images. For example, in Slemmons’ work, Metabox, she plays off the concept of “hand tools.” This work is comprised of a set of seven rings based on draftsman’s tools, created from a found pencil, ruler, and eraser, which are held in a toolbox-shaped jewelry box.
