RANSOM (100 Brooches)
This series of one hundred brooches was humanufactured® of recycled aluminum traffic signs. It was inspired by Jamie Reid -- the Sex Pistols’ graphic designer and Rosalie Gascoigne — an Australian collage artist. Each brooch was sold with the stipulation that it had to be photographed by the purchaser while wearing it. This idea arose from conversations I had with my daughter Aila. The rich selfie photos submitted by the participants (listed on the left) becomes a quilt, illustrating our diverse community. The piece is dedicated to my long-time mentor, art connoisseur and critic, author, design fanatic and dear friend, Steven Holt of San Francisco who died in August, a day after he completed his portrait for this project.
