phenakistoscopes
artist statement

There's a world within us, of thoughts, feelings, of lost memories - felt but incommunicable. It shifts and changes, altering how we live and see the world. This multiplicity is intrinsic to ourselves, our world, and to the phenakistoscopes.

Movement is crucial in the hand-pierced brooches; like phenakistoscopes, they spin to create an animation. At rest, they're incomplete, the multiplicity not there.
