A figural pendant in the hand
A separate silver-toned pendant is turned in the hand and its hinged base is opened. The film records its moving mechanism.
LOOKING CLOSERA form, a story,
A form, a story,
a way of seeing.
The photographs show a hinged pendant whose doors reveal a small figure inside. Its design borrows the sense of enclosure and revelation associated with a shrine, while making the whole composition portable.
The accompanying short film records a different, silver-toned figural pendant with an opening base. Both examples use moving parts to give a small object an interior as well as an exterior.
