Artist statement
Each brooch is constructed from linked elements and double pinned which allows the wearer to rearrange its shape. They are part of a series of brooches which have the ability to shift; some more dramatically than others. These pieces are made to be enjoyed and played with. Attached to clothing they make a bold graphic statement.
