Protection Form

The form of this sterling silver brooch or pendant creates a protective shape on the verge of discomfort; the silk folds are pressed tightly against each other and the edges of the silver. If worn, the limits of the protection the metal offers against the world are exposed. The safety becomes a trap for the silk as it is discoloured, worn, and frayed, until there is nothing left but the silver shell.
