Held at a distance, the sculpture, Wall Necklace is composed of several varieties of suspended chains, used both to secure spaces and to chain up people. Some of these chains might be used in queer culture and S&M as well, others evoke the sensuality of jewelry worn directly on the skin, even though the moving body as a carrier is replaced by the stillness of the wall.
For the artists, chains are like wigs that, balancing between the technical and the decorative, have the ability to help us step in and out of worlds. They enable us to prop a foot over the edge of a custom and embody a new potential way of relating to one another.
