Bolt Mail This work is a large piece of wearable art. It is a cross between a necklace and a chest plate. The piece covers the left side of the body. I left gaps in some areas of the piece, which sybolises decay. This enhances the opposition in the work. The mix of form and function of the actual material, as well as the idea that a bolt is made to hold things together but the construction of the work gives the illusion that the piece itself is falling apart.
