Lost My Edge

Sterling Silver, silk fabric, 2015.
Edges Borders Gaps:
Created in response to the 2015 JMGA conference title, edgesbordersgaps, these three brooches illustrate the shift and flow of boundaries, both physically and politically.
Acknowledging the continuous movement of people, governments and the continents themselves, suggests that fixating on static territories is an outmoded way of thinking.
Breaking the world up and moving continents around is a way of illustrating that borders are only a construct, often created by those who wish to hold power over others.
Now that we as a planet are more connected than in previous eras it may be time to question these constructs and form a new unified way of viewing this planet and our place on it.
