“This year I’ve been making, breaking, unmaking and remaking chain links, trying to understand this deeply loaded, yet simple form. The resulting work reveals chain’s dual nature: the insidious purpose to which it’s often put, and the cooperative system through which it functions. It restrains and restricts, but is also formed by a series of links that only work through their interconnectedness.”

For the Odd Fellows, three links represent FLT: friendship, love and truth - emboldened throughout 100W, this 1890s Lodge’s architectural ornament. And presents context for this momentary site specificity.
