Imperfection
This series of three brooches represents varieties of imperfection. The Organic Brooch layers metals and enamels which combine and flow following the natural laws of chemistry and physics rather than my own direction. The Manufactured Brooch is a carefully-structured grid over oxidized copper showing human planning and production and the failure inherent thereof. The Personal Brooch is a cloisonne self-portrait which was overfired to mar the features and expose my own innate imperfection.
