Truffle, 2020.
Brooch made of rabbit fur, thread, silver and 440 pins.
115 mm x 115 mm x 75 mm.

I am piecing together white rabbit pelts from my past, inserting hundreds of pins and needles into each form that I create. Through the act of cutting, twisting, and binding, I am creating objects of adornment about my personal struggles with intimacy. Inspired by my experiences with love and loss, this work deals with my obsession to resolve the conflict and emotions I associate with my materials.
