Having finished the woodcut Trewhiddle that was based on the amazing discovery of the early 10th century AngloSaxon brooch in Norfolk, I found that the British Museum already had a quirky Trewhiddle design brooch called the Fuller Brooch that depicted the 5 senses. I then made a wood cut of this and then further inspired me to do a modern version. Instead of strange animals or human forms I decided on scientific symbols and signs of our times. I chose the caduceus symbol of medicine, the double helix of molecular genetics, printed circuit patterns and orbiting planets or subatomic particles all woven together like the Anglo-Saxons brooches.
