The Time Traveler's Wife- Brooch Project

For a recent project I decided to create a physical metaphor for the book The Time Traveler's Wife. The finished project was a brooch, a practice in cold connecting with rivets.

The construction has 5 layers of metal, copper, bronze and steel, with a copper chain and two copper figures. The chain runs through the middle of the piece, and is partially visible through the clock face. The broken clock face represents time distortion and the time on the face is 12:24, the date of an important death in the story. The deer and bird represent the two main characters in the book, and as one is moved, the other is effected, even through time.
