'Conveyor' brooch

This beautiful new brooch is a companion piece to the monumental 'Long Conveyor' installation that was a centrepiece both of Blanche's recent survey show at Geelong Gallery and her first exhibition at Funaki.

Made with a combination of hand and digital processes, it speaks to the nature of industrialised production, with the glass elements rolling like a conveyor belt. 

Unlimited edition. Flameworked borosilicate glass, titanium, sterling silver, stainless steel.

5 x 3 x 1.2cm
