This new work you're doing is quite unusual. What is the symbolism of the keys? They unlock things, yet they're suspended inside of these wire chambers. Are you speaking of keys that are not able to unlock things? -- The difficulty of getting to the core because of things/people because there really isn't a key to it (because everyone is different)?
I'm really sparked by this work. I'm glad to see you on here :)

"Behind the Brooch"
I have always thought that the back of a jewelry piece is as important as the front. If you feel the same way, consider sending images of the front and backside of your brooches to Lorena Angulo asap. Lorena is looking for images to place in a future crafthaus online exhibition!
