Classic brooches
Piece included in Beauty and Wonder exhibition (curator Luis Acosta)
Materials sponge rubber, thread, stainless steel

Classic is a series of brooches, made from orange open cell sponge rubber, inspired by the ancient statues of fertility goddesses. Applying classic techniques of “carving”, I have used the orange sponge to create vivacious bodies as a reflection on the once revered female body.
