The sculpture of two interlocking rings is made of steel and enamelled blue. When the artist Jack Gardner reached his 90s, this sculpture was one of a number of pieces that he set about having installed around different parks in Tottenham, North London. He wanted to place as many of his works as possible in open spaces for the people of Tottenham to enjoy. Tottenham was where he had grown up and had worked.

In 2012, the year of the Olympics in London, Jack Gardner was determined that his sculpture of interlocking rings would take pride of place in Bruce Castle Park. With the help of his two grandsons, it was erected outside the north elevation of Bruce Castle Museum, using the plinth of the former nineteenth-century drinking fountain.
