Dylon Whyte is a chainmail artist, born in Toronto Canada. His influence by creative environments started even before he knew who he was. Chainmail was created in the middle ages as amour that used small metal rings joined together to create protective clothing for use in the battle. His childhood was filled with colours, smells, textures and the experiences of being raised by a fine artist. For him, this meant discovering the innovation of art and applying it to his own life. He found a new outlet in making jewellery out of chainmail. according to (Whyte 2016) "weaving the chain is a relaxing experience that borders on zen meditation and aspects of soothing pattern recognition. you tend to pick up a great deal of discipline and patience along the way". Dylon is focussed on making chain patterns with applied art. In his work, I look at the variety of patterns, styles and I have learned that there is no boundary in terms of being creative. This type of work inspires me to create a version of my Xhosa bling jewellery.
