He has been making jewellery since 1972, achieving dramatic, flamboyant effects by combining the simple, inexpensive materials of mirrored glass fragments and resin.  Logan studied at the Oxford School of Architecture. He has since been involved in the fashion world, theatre design, installations and portrait sculpture. In 1991 he opened the Andrew Logan Museum of Sculpture, a museum dedicated to his work, in Berriew, Powys, Wales.\r\n  \r\nIn the foreword of his 1998 catalogue he  explains the significance of mirrors: “The mirror of the universe has been my life for thirty years. It has an energy like no other material. The humble grain of sand transforms to glamorous glass. I have played with mirrors to create monuments, mobiles, portraits, wall pieces and jewellery. My ‘Artistic Adventure’ is to create a world of ‘Magic Moments’.” \r\n\r\nThis particular brooch commemorates Andrew Logan's 6th Alternative Miss World competition which had the theme of Water, and it was given by him to one of the organisers of the event.","physicalDescription":"Brooch in the shape of a fish.
