he artists have explored the theme in gold, titanium, silver, aluminium, glass, wood, recycled signs, all with an over riding link of movement as they beautifully fit the body.

Movement, articulation and a nod to the historical reference to a reoccurring unit: the link. Or better than a string of pearls!
The results are as varied and imaginative as the makers, some are vibrant, others elegant and restrained with simple coloured lines.The artists have explored the theme in gold, titanium, silver, aluminium, glass, wood, recycled signs, all with an over riding link of movement as they beautifully fit the body.
