Andrew Logan's creative energy has found many outlets across the realms of sculpture, interior design, fashion and performance art. He has been making jewellery since 1972, achieving dramatic, flamboyant effects by combining the simple, inexpensive materials of mirrored glass fragments and resin. The jewels resemble his sculptural work but in miniature. Although smaller and less bold than much of his jewellery this piece--resembling a stylized bow--is relatively early and distinctive in terms of materials, technique and spontenaiety.

Physical description

Three panels of mirrored glass (a small rectangle flanked by two larger four-sided pieces) are set into resin which has been painted dark pink. The piece is not symmetrical but its shape resembles a stylized bow. The pin at the back is a standard safety pin set in to the resin.
