Through strategies of repetition, adaptation and subtraction Sunni's work records and critiques the relevance of iconic forms of adornment and examines our relationship with luxury goods and the historic and contemporary role of jewellery as a signifier of wealth and status. Rather than focusing on one type of object Sunni's work represents multiple ways of viewing the subject. Treating a range of signifiers as both material and subject for jewellery.
