The Sum Brooch is defined by a surface of hundreds of hand-pierced openings, creating a lace-like structure in sterling silver.
Crafted in sterling silver, the circular form is carefully pierced by hand with countless small holes, allowing light to move through the piece and across the body beneath. The highly polished finish reflects light across the remaining silver, giving contrast between solid form and open space.
The design draws inspiration from Sum by David Eagleman, a collection of stories that reimagines the afterlife in unexpected ways. This piece responds to one story in which the repeated moments of life are gathered together and seen anew. The patient process of making echoes that repetition, where many small actions combine to create something larger.
Fitted with a secure brooch fitting.
Handmade in Glasgow.
