PERSPEX
Brooches, Perspex | steel wire, 10-15 cm, 1983
In conventional jewellery, there is no interactive connection between brooch and clothing.
The Perspex Brooches feature a steel pin that pushes the fabric outwards. The Perspex Waves have grooves that are gripped firmly by a round rubber band, which slips into position behind the material. The resulting crumpling or wrinkling of the fabric emphasises the effect of the brooch.
The clothing is no longer a passive support but becomes an integrated part of the brooch of equal status.
