Disclaimer: Cocks “Crowns for the Prince”

“The Family Jewels – Crowns for the Prince” was a collaborative work with a fellow artist who created a line of jewelry to adorn the penis.  We invited 25 Eureka Spring’s men to model the bejeweled works and be photographed with the promise their identities would never be revealed. The results were an underground, one-night, invitation-only show at The Space in 2006. The 16” x 20” framed photographs were hung (pardon the pun) next to the actual jewelry displayed on wall mounted, life- size, plaster penises. During the evening, a live fashion show with several models wearing the jewelry, and nothing else, rocked the runway. Probably the most fun was coming up with titles for each piece.
