About Ghosted

To be “ghosted” is to know what it means to reside in limbo, left by a significant other who suddenly and unexpectedly cuts off all communication. It is end without boundaries, a disconnection without resolution. And for Tony Perrin, Nashville-based dancer, fashion/costume designer, graphic/print designer and force behind Lock and Key jewelry, it represents a state for creative exploration.

In Ghosted, Perrin investigates defining this feeling as a noun referring to soul or spirit, and as a verb depicting movement gliding smoothly and effortlessly. These states meld together in a unique, process-revealing collaboration that includes live and pre-recorded performance of music and movement created by composer Aaron Walters and choreographer David Flores; large-format photography by Anna Haas of dancers David Flores, Erin Kouwe & Perrin himself wearing Perrin’s jewelry; and a series of shadow boxes displaying this jewelry in a suspended state, where the dancer has been “ghosted.”

 

About Tony Perrin

Perrin, whose jewelry fuses Native American beading with classic ball-and-chain for collections of “modern eclecticism and international cool,” was raised in Southern California. He learned about bead weaving at the age of 10 from a family friend, all the while soaking in creativity amid a family that danced, photographed and painted. He spent more than a decade as a professional dancer in television and theatre, worked in costume design as well as in the New York fashion industry, and eventually landed in Nashville, where he founded Lock and Key.
