This sleek brooch is another example Carolyn’s eye for simplicity and unusual materials. Its abstract form can take many connotations. Is it a teardrop, or the hull of a sailing ship, or perhaps a sea creature such as a whale? Perhaps, there is no implicit meaning to this piece, with the artist’s intent rather to accentuate the body with a sensual shape. Anyone who thinks about what they wear can see how a brooch such as this could be a bold accent to a dress or a jacket.
