The coil opens rather than closes, allowing the curved wooden line to define both the object and the space inside it. The form carries forward an earlier vocabulary of bending and repetition, but with less mass and more air.
As a brooch, the piece changes again on the body: the curve, opening, pin, and clothing become parts of one temporary composition.
