Label copy

This brooch from Jamie Bennett’s Priori series represents a break from traditional enameling techniques that the artist began exploring in the 1980s. While enameled jewelry typically has a distinct front and back, Bennett created this piece in the round, evoking small-scale sculpture. The granular texture of the enamel creates a subtle patterning that is highlighted with an application of gold foil.
