Teegan Horat — Cosmos Brooch #2, 2025
These brooches represent a continuing inquiry into how material can fundamentally shape how an object is experienced. Here, silver, steel and enamel are chosen for their longevity. These materials may age and wear but with a caring hand they will prevail for generations. Enamel itself becomes an outlet for experimentation. The creation of new surfaces, while utilising ancient materials and techniques, are something uniquely current and invite the viewer to question how the surface was achieved.
