Produce

Figure 16 - van der Linden, A., (2019)
Produce, Brooch, copper, sterling
silver and pearl

This piece is inspired by a quick drawing that I made See figure 15 below. Produce is the final Brooch that I created by assembling the copper gooseberry pods. I created this piece by arranging three oxidized pods next to each other, two larger ones and one small one. One of the larger ones contains a bright white pearl. I mounted them on a domed surface attached to a brooch pin. See figure 16 to view the final piece.

Produce

a hard, husky shell
work-hardened, tediously
producing a pearl

In a somber pod
lies a bright, brilliant fruit
of determination
