His pieces echo the visual language of his paintings — rhythmic circles, industrial structure, and controlled modernist tension.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThis pendant is a commanding and highly sculptural example.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eCrafted in heavy 835 silver, the form presents as a sweeping crescent shield, pierced at the apex and constructed with layered circular elements set with matte green cabochon stones. The dimensionality is exceptional, rising nearly 1 cm in depth, creating dramatic presence when worn.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe abstract composition is unmistakably mid-century modern with a strong constructivist sensibility.
