“During the 2016 presidential campaign, artist-slash-jeweler Yael Kanarek used her word sculpture creations to signal Democratic and liberal support. The first piece of her Language of Resistance collection was a necklace pendant spelling #IMTHHER, the hashtag that went viral in the early days of Hilary Clinton's campaign. But what took off and established the collections was the NASTYWOMAN necklace made after Donald Trump referred to Clinton as one. He recently said the same of Kamala Harris. Since then, some necklace owners have started wearing them again and tagging Kanarek on social media.” - by Roxanne Robinson
