Artwork Description
Heinz Brummel created a “docking station” for his pin---that is, its own tripod---so that it can be displayed even when it is not being worn. Brummel uses simple shapes of circles, triangles, and squares and often includes dangling or movable parts that contribute to the object’s visual appeal.
