NECKLACES - Abstract Ring

I have become more and more interested in the earlier abstract forms. Abstraction is very typical of the aesthetic of most tribal people around the world - and I think it gives us a window into primitive thought. In this piece - based on a bronze openwork plaque from approximately 300BC I have used colours to suggest elemental features (fire in the centre with orange red and water on the periphery with  blue and teardrop shaped foil inlays). However I also feel that it contains emotional content of a fiery and sorrowful spirit. This piece is designed as a necklace, but can also be made into a brooch.

"When in perplexity, the beguiling simplicity of the circle is like a raft to a drowning man."
J.C. Polkinghorne, "The Quantum World

All necklaces can also be ordered as brooches
