These are Kay Eppi Nolke Pflasterringe ring collection. She started with regular cloth band aids added designs and then cast them in various metals. The image of the band aid and its relation to healing and protection take on a different feel when it is no longer made of the same familiar material. The metal makes the idea of a band aid feel cold, because of the nature of the metallic material. The band aid is a simple object designed to protect and heal, creating it in metal elevates its original purpose. In metals these rings really take on a metal shield like quality.
