The brooches from the Embroidered Rings series were created from rings that had been completed and stored for many years. Motivated by a desire to repurpose them, the rings were flattened and transformed into a base for a new artistic exploration. A delicate silver mesh was soldered onto the flatten rings, and cross-stitch patterns were embroidered using textile thread. The work reflects a dialogue between materials and qualities – metal and fabric, rigidity and softness, cold and warmth, resulting in a new object that carries traces of memory and transformation.
