About the artwork.
Favoring bright colors and atypical shapes for his jewelry and small sculpture, Peter Chang experimented with various methods and materials, including acrylic purchased from shop signs in a Chinese neighborhood in Liverpool, England. Plastics in various forms, such as the acrylic used in this bracelet, are a plentiful and malleable resource, but also exemplify the artist’s goal of using “something that would reflect the age we live in.”
