DescriptionThe brooch is made of white paper, three cut-mesh squares, and metallic thread. There are circular perforations in the shape of a rectangle which extends off of the top left of the circular brooch. On the left side of the brooch is a mesh square with red metallic threads extending vertically. Another partial mesh square (as it has extended off of the brooch), has metallic gold threads which extend vertically, although some have relaxed and are wilted. A third cut-mesh square near the top-center of the brooch has orange metallic threads which extend horizontally, and have relaxed and are wilted.ProvenanceThe artist, Pittsburg, KS, 1983-2016;
