Conversation Piece / Post-Colonial Gold
FRAGMENTS OF HISTORY
Two original blue-and-white ceramic fragments transformed into a magnetic brooch.
The fragments carry traces of another object, another function and another history. Removed from their original context, they are given a new function on the body.
Within Post-Colonial Gold, value is created through revaluation rather than precious material.
