Tire Brooches  2015
Artist: Terry Kreiter
Dims: 3 x 1 3/4 inch (approx.)
Medium: Bicycle tire, steel wire, Jet (lignite), and bronze


ARTIST NOTE:
The black faceted stone is Jet (Lignite)

JET (LIGNITE)
Using a bike tire as a material was inspired by a friends healthy obsession with tires that she picks up along the road. I believe that they are seen by her as metaphors.
