“Parbs is intrigued by “The items and articles that people allow into intimate space. I am especially intrigued by the features and embellishments the body absorbs over time.” Through the harmless application of her Marked series of creations, Parbs demonstrates the way skin surfaces can be gently manipulated to respond to ephemeral embellishments and can transmute into temporary articles of jewellery.” ( Cheng, Beccy and Indigo Clarke, 2006, p.122 )
