Conversation Piece / Post-Colonial Gold
FRAGMENTS OF HISTORY
Two painted ceramic fragments transformed into magnetic brooches.
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.
