‘DUST IS THE DAUGHTER OF THINGS’

Small brooch with moving leaf pins.

The phrase ‘Dust is the daughter of things’ was haphazardly stamped into the metal, rubbed back and stamped again numerous times. The resultant overwritten piece symbolises a passage of time, an erosion, where what was begat now begets.

Blackened silver box with silver, brass, and silver mixed with brass pins. Silver nickel pin.

When closed: 36 x 40 x 10mm. When open: 48 x 52 x 10mm due to moving pins.
