That's a photograph of a bangle that I designed and made myself, from brass. It's too large for me to wear, I never intended on making it for myself, it's just a bangle I made for the sake of making it. I really love brass and since archaeologists have given up now on distinguishing brass and bronze (putting them together under the term 'copper alloys') I feel it is somewhat representative of the bronze themes running through the work.

The title has a double meaning. It refers to the compulsion to hang on to possessions, position, life itself, even when such may be no longer a source of anything positive. It also refers to the new nest of freshly established vampires, barely hatched.
