Nicole Beck’s Transmitter brooch captures the quiet poetry of timeworn domesticity. With its faded enamel surface and softened form, the piece evokes the textures of wallpaper once vivid and now barely legible or fabric bleached by years of sun. Beck draws on the visual language of interiors, spaces of memory and intimacy, and translates those impressions into a brooch that feels both fragile and resolute.
The formal restraint of the piece allows surface to take precedence. Its layered patina suggests a process of addition and removal, as if the artist were excavating memory rather than constructing form. The brooch feels personal yet abstract, familiar yet elusive. It is an object that does not impose meaning but invites quiet reflection, offering a space where presence and absence coexist.
