About MeThe 'Rain Drop' Earrings is one of several exhibits by Nora Fok, which formed part of the Princess Su Su exhibition. The exhibition was conceived by Suzanne Langston-Jones, with contributions from herself and several other artists. Nora Fok uses nylon filaments and plastics knitted and woven together to create light, yet strong, sculptured pieces which illustrate her concerns as regards nature and current events.
She writes, ' Princess Su Su loves rain, in every drop is a sparkling jewel, nourishing all life on her land.'
Dated to 2000.
