Subsistence Americana
Sterling Silver Cheese-it Necklace
Subsistence Americana's version of this Pop-Culture food is the actual size of a real Cheese-it.
It is solid-cast with texture and detail perfectly matching the real thing.
For all the days we ate boxes of Cheese-its as a meal.
Subsistence Americana is an experiment with food and American culture. All the pieces are wearable versions of American classic foods.
These foods have strong links to our memories of growing up. The days of plenty and the days of want, but mostly the excitement of having a something a little special to eat and trade at lunch or to accompany us on hikes, occupy our nerves on dates and sustain our road trips.
We are two independant artists born in the desert of New Mexico and currently working in the jungles of New York City:
