About MeThis neckpiece is one of a small collection of body adornment demonstrating the joint research of the two makers into new technology.The collaboration between Keith and Morris looked into metal techniques applied to textile structures.
Electroforming replicates sculptural shapes with partial or minimal layers of fine silver, combining potential combinations of soft and hard forms, which is what can be seen here on the necklace's plastic crescent and the series of small pewter- coloured flowers which make up the decorative element of the neckpiece.
