Comments

These medals were issued as part of a series of kinetic adillions entitled "Movement and Change," created by the artist Nairn Basson. Mr. Basson specializes in kinetic art and has already designed the "Dove," "Israel" and "Dreidl" adillions for the IGCMC. He invites you to become part of the creative process. You can create endless, fascinating shapes and patterns by rotating the different parts of these medals.
 

Two 8-pointed stars moving within a wheel, which, together, form an ever-changing, multi-pointed star. "As One Heart"
Two hearts moving within a wheel creating a variety of forms.
