Floating Points

This organic sculpture brooch by Jana Roberts Benzon has enough interesting curves and twists, not to mention intriguing textures and bright colors, to hold its own without a lot of additional elements. But it is the small floating points that emerge from its interior that make this piece work so well. They work as focal points as well as adding an element of airiness to what could have been a relatively heavy feeling piece. There was already a lot of movement in the edges of the folds but the additional points moving out and away from it really make this piece come alive.

You can see more of Jana’s work on her website and her Flickr photostream as well as checking out her classes on CraftEdu, her own DVDs, and her workshops schedule.
