Elise Winters, Garden Esprit Brooch, 2010 5.5"h x 5.5" w x 3"d polymer, acrylic, maple, brass

 

This past weekend at SOFA:NY, my new Esprit Brooches were exhibited for the first time on maple stands.  Brooch forms have always been my favorite.  I approach them as small scale sculpture.  After making these larger ruffle brooches I felt they should be on display when not in use. I love that the stand allows the brooch to float in space.

Also on view at Snyderman-Works Gallery were several of these new hole punch brooches by Ford/Forlano.
Read what they have to say about technique here and about the concept here.

About

I cannot remember a time in my life that I wasn't interested in looking at art, talking about art and the making of art. In 1990 I earned a Phd in art history at the University of Maryland. My first experiences with polymer clay were in 1992, but I consider my real work with the medium to date from 1999.
