Gentry’s work was inspired by what can make the body unsettled and make one think uncomfortable thoughts. Gentry’s work often evokes that sense of confusion between the cute and the disgusting. Dipping recollections of the body in a yummy mask that then begs to be worn. Gentry makes soft implications of impure thoughts, to implicate the viewer. This in turn adds a sense of ownership to the jewelry when worn.
