Hitting his straps

I've been watching Peter Peryer's visual exploration of Southland with interest. One of the things I like most about his work is the (sometimes unconscious, I think) returning to constant motifs - hence why these two recent images caught my eye:




Completely unrelated, yet somehow salient, a recent work by Kobi Bosshard from the current Fingers show. he has a similar necklace on show at Avid in Wellington currently, which reminds me of bridge architecture (engineering? design? is there a proper word I should be using here?).
