Maker's statement

This armpiece is part of a series I developed after my 'Bodywork' exhibition (Crafts Council, April 1980). The first ones were made for my entry in 'Armschmuck' at Pforzheim (1980). I have used effects of light and colour which evolved whilst working on the neckpieces for 'Bodywork'.
