Fiddleheads
All fern fronds develop by unfurling as they mature and are found throughout the world. This piece was inspired by the work of Karl Blossfeldt, a German sculptor. He also documented the architecture and diversity of plant life through photography around the turn of the last century. The pin was designed to be worn on a coat or jacket but is light enough for almost any fabric. |
Bokombe Earrings
One of the most important foods of the bonobo in the wild are the young, unfurled leaves of the plant known as bokombe in the local, Limongo, language. They served as the inspiration for these earrings. How these plants affect the nutrition and social organisation of these little known apes is still poorly understand. |
