Made using my ‘lost squash’ technique, this pendant combines the shapes and structures of the plant with the rigor of the cube. The fine fibers of the loofah constitute both the texture and structure of the pendant. Partially gold or rhodium-plated, the texture oscillates in the light. Lost squash is a homemade technique derived from the ancestral lost wax technique. The wax is replaced by thin sheets of vegetable fibers making the patterns on each pendant unique. The cube is hollow and measures 1cm/10mm on each side.
