Maker's statement
This piece was originally made as part of my entry to the 1980 'Armschmuck' competition at Pforzheim, Germany. It follows the pink neckpiece/curve and makes the same use of light and refraction to produce elusive pink and purples along the outer edge - particularly evident when worn and therefore moved. The inside curve has evolved from the push-on multiple bracelet of 1976.
