Alena Joy / Ken Goldman

What's green, associated with China, and used to make jewellery? That's right: kiwi. In her "Fruitful Fungi" series, England's Alena Joy uses dried kiwi skins alongside metal, enamel and nylon "spores" in her exploration of decomposing fruit. More of her work below:

Bonus link: if you'd rather wear your food before it decomposes, this plate ring will come in handy (especially at parties). Designed by Israel's Ken Goldman for FRED.
