Inspired by nature and the forms that occur therein, these brooches delve into the exploration of the evolving, growing movement of life. Using the brass with white pearls is an ideal medium for this piece. Through the skeleton-like qualities of the brass section of the pieces, I want to create the feeling of death and decay of the organic form while the pearls represent the seeds that would be the next generation of life. The pearls feel as though they are dispersing out of the form to continue the circle of nature, giving the new generation a chance to grow. The crocheted forms along with the corresponding stick pin showcases the rich surfaces and curvilinear components of the work. I create perfect forms in nature in my own intuitive way with the integration of form and function found in the natural world through the organic processes of growth.
