UNDERNEATH THE SURFACE | 2016

Brooch | Oxidised Sterling Silver, Ebony, Stainless Steel

 

Underneath The Surface; 2017 explores how neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’ s or

Alzheimer’s develop quietly under the surface, only revealing themselves when notable

change occur. When each piece of ebony is fastened to the brooch, it appears unblemished

and complete. Unfasten one of the pieces and the cavity left is blemished and a hole

reminds you something is missing. The more pieces removed, the more prevalent the

damage, much like the progression of a neurodegenerative disease.
