Tetrahedron Brooch (actual images)


I’m also calling this one Spatial Effect #1 beacuse it was the first in this new direction of using spring tension. Each itiration of this has resulting in higher levels of complexity and yet the forms remain simple and elegant.

Viewed from multiple angles, multiple interpretations are created.



Spatial Effect #3 (necklace)


The bottom tube of copper is suspended merely on equal and opposite forces from the opposite sets of spring wire.
Thanks to Corey Egan for the mannequin bust.

Spatial Effect #3



Spatial Effect #2 (bangle)


This constitues a new direction in the Tension Structure series, using spring wire rather than thread to make connections. So far this has yielded interesting results.
Spatial Effect

In this structure the interaction of the elemets are random but within limits as to remain cohesive.
