“Dance, and make joyous the love around you. Dance and your veils which hide the Light shall swirl in a heap at your feet.” ~ Rumi

This pairing features the Dancer’s Neckpiece, featuring 77 handcrafted links, alongside its sister hand-painted ceramic tile featuring lively, dancing swirls of color by AFS Mosaics.

The mosaic is rich with colorful squares and circles, arranged in an intricate, layered pattern. The ceramic tile is made from a mold of glass mosaic and is a substrate of Ariel’s Mosaic Evolution Tile collection. The painting technique achieves a textured, three-dimensional effect. The colors, including reds, blues, yellows, and greens, offer vibrant and dynamic energy. 5” square with metal display stand.

The Dancer’s neckpiece features links created from square wire, formed and configured in a slightly asymmetric pattern to create a moving, flowing cascade of polished metal that dances with the body. Oxidized sterling silver. Can be worn at 15.5 or 16.25 inches.

The contrast between the organic, painted forms and the cool, metallic rings suggests a symbolic interplay, perhaps representing the dance between creativity and structure, or softness and strength. Together, the chain becomes the grounding element that complements and balances the mosaic’s vibrancy while the colors of the tile offer visual representation of the chain’s dancing movement.

The Fire & Metal limited edition series pairs works created by the hands of two artists in their home studios. Each unique piece, created from the artist’s own inspiration, works with the other in synergy. This series offers spectacular art combinations seated in the energy of friendship, joy and inspiration and is a wonderful opportunity for art collectors to add to their personal collection.
