About MeGordon has a well-established reputation for working with repeated patterns and geometric components within a formal structure or grid such as a square or circle. With this brooch she has moved in a new direction adding bright colours with the use of the origami paper slotted into the back of the piece. This brings colour, depth and warmth to the coolness of the grey metal.
