Necklace: The new life of some antique silverware. An alloy of classy and lumpen architectural elements... by Maria Tsimpiskaki.Antique silverware, silver, copper, pigments.. 2020This body of this work is inspired by the history, the secrets, the past and the present of one of the most interesting streets of Athens: "Athena’s Street". It is the Merchants' street" or the "street of miracles" as Athenians love to call it. It is the street where you can meet every kind of people, merchants, workers, petty traders, urban residents, countrymen, criminals, and angels, and buy every kind of stool, food, spices, antique...... My material is antique silverware. I decided to give a new life to the old antiques I bought from Athena Street and to capture them some moments of the past and the present..
