Clench is a necklace made to engage the senses. It is made of a copper wire fame, with soldered tubes, and threaded with mint wax floss. In one form it is a tool, the function of the floss preserved and uninhibited. In short, it can be used to clean the gaps in teeth. In another, it is a barrier between the viewer and wearer. This piece was one of the first in my explorations of hygiene and routine. In it, I was exploring my connection to daily objects and the cycles that I relied on to check my mental health. This neckpiece is able to be rewoven as a test of endurance or wellness of that particular day.
