Canvas Brooch
This is a Brooch. It was designed by Karen Pontoppidan. It is dated 2014 and we acquired it in 2016. Its medium is painted canvas on wood, applied tin, silver, iron. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
Pontoppidan wrapped and folded a painted canvas over a trapezoidal wood body, transforming the “painting” into three dimensions. She then embellished the surface with an appliquéd jewelry medallion, thereby underscoring the interrelatedness of jewelry and the fine arts.
