Configuration I (brooch)
Silver plated creamer, sterling silver, pearls, silk thread, garnet, stainless steel, oxidized
3 x 2-3/4 x 1-3/4 inches
Instructor- Material Exploration: Bodied and Senses
Objects exist for decades, centuries or even millennia. Their functions transform over time from utilitarian to symbolic, from direct use by their owners to a ritual, indirect use. Despite their inanimate existence they stipulate a sense of space and time with their tactile and visual sensations. I am attracted to their quiet, flexible, but robust presence. Objects are loaded with their stories and functions as well as the trace of hands that have touched them.
