Precious pasta
Period
2018 - ongoing
Material & Technique
Bronze, 14 karat gold and sterling silver (925) cast pasta shapes (farfalle & penne), gold and silver necklace
Warning: wearable, not edible
A butterfly pasta brooch, made with a safety pin, glue and paint. My mother wore it with pride, just as I felt proud as a child of my creation. When the original began to crumble and break, I decided to create a new version. A childlike gift, transformed into an adult form, for all ages. Not made from pasta or craft glue, but cast in glossy bronze, gold and silver. Precious Pasta is an ode to childhood, to mothers who keep everything, and to pasta as a universal material of love and creativity.
Farfalle and penne, cast in solid bronze, gold or silver, hanging from a gold or silver necklace: an everyday ingredient, cast into a lasting piece of jewelry.
