Through his relationship with Jane Hobson, editor at Vogue, Morris was inspired to develop works which incorporate contrasting materials such as metal and leather. This early work is an exploration of Morris' desire that the object become one with the body, seen here through the leather strapping which wraps from the cuff around the wrist.
Engraved signature 'Robert Lee Morris 1978'. Cuff strap measures 16 inches in length.
