Resting
Description/Abstract/Artist Statement
Resting is a brooch that was created to reflect my self-identity. The dragonfly flies around most of its life and rests for just a moment then it takes off again, no one knows where it comes from or where it's going. I can relate to it because I'm always on-the-go. The dragonfly is kinetic and the wings flutter to appear as though it is about to take off again. The brass leaf represents a dual meaning, a comfortable place to rest and is easily pushed by the wind similar to how I like to go with the flow. As a flame provides light and warmth to those around, the copper flame represents my light heartedness, warm personality, and positive energy.
