BONE AND BLOOD

The human body has a fascinating way of linking up different body parts. Through bone, blood, muscle and nerves, the human body is a complex unity of elements. This piece represents that in a very abstract way. 

I like working with trillion stones as it represents us (a trinity of forces) but in what way I'm not quite sure. I'm still studying this theory! I chose a vibrant red as it represents blood. The sphere moves around in a claw and this represents the linkage I explained earlier. The idea was taken from a knee ligament (a ball joint) and was made abstract and decorated with small clear stones. All these stones are flush set and the sphere satinated and finally rhodium plated.
