Text from object entry in A. Game (2016) ‘Contemporary British Crafts: The Goodison Gift to the Fitzwilliam Museum’. London: Philip Wilson Publishers: This neckpiece Fountain employs beaded strands of nylon weighted with pearls to capture the tumbling movement of water in a fountain. Nora Fok: ‘Nearly forty percent of our bodies consist of water. It is an essential part of us and we take pleasure in it, as well as using it to sustain life. Water fountains are expressions of our delight in the vitality and energy conveyed through water, with light, sound and movement, to enjoy as pure pleasurable experience.’
