Alison Evans is well known for the exquisite jewelry she creates using the techniques of chain mail. Her work focuses on touch and movement as she explores how a material as hard as metal can be transformed into a substance with textile-like qualities, falling and moving in a way that accentuates the curves of the human body. Evans makes each link individually, using 18-carat gold and silver wire. In some respects the chain mail could be considered a canvas that she decorates using contrasting metals or stones. These effects create an intriguing and beautiful collection of necklaces, bracelets and earrings.
