DescriptionA pin made of a collage of materials arranged in a cubist-style still life by Maureen O' Connor. The layered materials are encased in plastic. The center of the design prominently features a taller gray vessel with a pear and a shorter black bowl with a lighter blue spherical object within it. The background appears as a wooden surface framed in gray with white in the lower left. The white areas are textured with specks of reflective material. A metal material affixed at the upper right forms a grid. O'Coonor collaborated with Armand Winfield who is known as a pioneer in using embedded plastics to make jewelry. He and his brother Rodney assembled a group of art students from the Cooper Union in New York to make miniature artworks that were then embedded in plastic.On View
