Kevin Coates
A Notebook of Pins
Description:... Whilst maintaining the simplicity of the form, Coates has given free reign to a grander vision, by placing the pins in hard mounts. Based on the drawings from the notebooks in which the jewels were originally conceived, these mounts offer a comfortable home for the pins and bear the thought process and workings which went into their creation - allowing the viewer a snapshot into another world - that of the maker, and thus changing the perceptions of adornment normally associated with jewels.
