"The Missing Link"

Constructed from 950 metres of 4 mm marine grade stainless steel chain with 47,500 links, this stunning chain sculpture took approximately 450 hours to complete.
Completed in 2013, the 240 kg sculpture received the Peer Award in the exclusive 2013 Swell Sculpture Festival on the Gold Coast. Mike comments: "The chain in the sculpture represents the links people have with each other and their surroundings. For every action, there is a chain reaction." From the Soldiers Point Marina: http://soldiersptmarina.com.au/demo/news/item/158 "Mikes proudest moment to date was receiving the “Peer Award” by fellow contributors in the exclusive 2013 Swell Sculpture Festival held at Currumbin Beach on the Gold Coast, for the Chain Sculpture."
