| Figure 10 - van der Linden, A., (2019) Serendipity, Brooch, Platinum, gold plating and a round pearl |
Serendipity is the title of the final platinum brooch piece that I created for
the 2019 PlatAfrica competition, Figure 10.
This piece is made entirely in platinum to resemble a twig from a Cape gooseberry bush. It consists of three gooseberry pods that increase in size with the third pod opening up to reveal a pearl. The three pods are placed on a branch with branches of leaves. Each gooseberry is fixed on a rotating pivot allowing the pods to move around when the body moves.
Poem:
Serendipity:Delicate leaves shine
in the sun, fueling the growth
Of tiny vessels
Serendipities
Within three delicate wombs,
swelling, maturing
The sun’s radiance
Rupturing and revealing
A golden surprise
in the sun, fueling the growth
Of tiny vessels
Serendipities
