About the artwork.

Embarking on what has been described as a “sculptural exploration of mass and space,” Ken Loeber creates work that reflects both his observations of the world around him and his desire to craft compositions that are rooted in harmony and balance. Brooches such as this one that combine metals like sterling silver or 18k-gold with shell, coral, pearl, fossils, and crab legs, exemplify Loeber’s facility with media, his willingness to experiment, and a lyrical sense of structure.
