Fisher Realism Brooch - Edition

$120.00

Hand-modelled polymer clay brooch reading “MARK FISHER REALISM,” mounted on a found metal pinback.

Category: Remade

File Under: #CriticalTheory, #PostCapitalism, #DIY, #MemorialObject, #CulturalStudies

Description

This brooch is composed of hand-modelled polymer clay lettering spelling “MARK FISHER REALISM,” affixed to a discarded metal pinback and sealed with a non-toxic acrylic finish. The clay is translucent with fine silver-toned particulate throughout, producing a subtle surface shimmer.

The pinback hardware is reused as found, bearing visible wear from prior circulation. The lettering is raised rather than flush, emphasizing its constructed surface and the physical presence of the text.

The piece references Mark Fisher through text alone, using language as the primary visual element.
