Brooch for a Chair
by Chrysanthe Stalkopoulou
With a background in Architecture, Chrysanthe’s work ‘occupies a specific site and embraces niches found in buildings, architectonic elements, furniture, and objects’. The pieces take on the dual role of being part of the afore mentioned built form as well as jewelry to be worn by individuals.
“Brooch for a chair” is a piece created to work with a found object. A fine oak chair found on the street was made whole with the jewelry acting as a patch to conceal the gap in the wicker.
Recent work includes “Necklace for the Goldsmiths Hall” which was exhibited as part of the “Rising Stars” exhibition at the Goldsmiths Hall. Chrysanthe is currently doing work with the National Gallery.
