Rings of Memory , Auneaux de Memoire , is made of several braids of human hair coiled into circles and joined together with brass brads and then laid carefully over clear pieces of glass and plates which have been placed on the floor. The low height of the work, with light showing through the clear glass objects, might simply reflect a visit to a tide pool in which small splashes of clear light appear among densely-packed sea anemones.
