Unfortunate Muses is the next chapter in a 16-year journey of wearable art created by me, Kirbee Lawler.
My work began in laser cut acrylic, but as the years passed, I found myself drawn to something deeper- pieces that feel like heirlooms. Objects that carry memory, meaning, and the weight of time.
Unfortunate Muses speaks to the imperfect inspirations behind what drives me to create - heartbreak, obsession, nostalgia, chaos, grief, longing, rage. The moments we don’t choose, but that shape us all the same.
Each piece is hand carved, cast and formed with intention. These are talismans for the emotionally fluent- jewellery for those who feel too much, dream too big, and find beauty in the mess.
