Alex Boyd | Where's Robespierre When You Need Him? or A Cure for Billionaires

Artist:  Alex Boyd, CO
Materials: Sterling silver, 14k gold, righteous justice, lab rubies
Size: 7.5 (Can't be Resized)

One of a kind

Artist Statement:  This ring is an homage to one of my favorite metalsmiths, Nash Quinn. My guiding principle as I was making it was WWND (What Would Nash Do). When I meditated on that I came to the conclusion that if Nash was going to topple the hierarchy there would definitely be springs and hinges involved. I'm not saying we should execute the oligarchs or anything. All I'm trying to say is that the oligarchs aren't going to behead themselves.

Technical Process Info: This ring is a fabrication. It's completely made up.  

Artist Bio: Alex Boyd is a sack of chemicals and electrical impulses that somehow managed to attain self-awareness. When not consuming replacement chemicals, staring at its phone or ruminating in existential dread it compulsively creates, trying to satisfy some mysterious aesthetic sensibility that ultimately can’t be satisfied. The results are objects that no one needs, some people want, and a few people buy. It lives with its wife, cat and two dogs in Denver, Colorado.
