I used a French candy tin in Rocket Ring for Elton John; it serves as the latch for the box doors. The ring itself has plastic flower holders set into the top of the ring. They hold pieces of a chain, which make noise when the ring moves. I thought Elton John might enjoy playing the piano wearing such an outlandish ring.
The recycled items give the pieces a sort of other world quality; they evoke memories from dreams and earlier, perhaps other, lives. Juxtaposed against the metal work, other images and the patinas, they serve as maps to unknown or partly remembered places.
