New Jewels- recent graduates from the Australian National University

July 23, 2010 at 6pm to September 18, 2010 at 5pm – Workshop Bilk, Queanbeyan, N.S.W.

Often the most refreshing work comes from emerging artists and this is certainly the case with this exhibition. In the past few years
this
group of committed and motivated students have graduated from the Gold
and Silversmithing Workshop and have continued their practice, they are
original in concept and very individual.

The exhibition challenges the conception of jewels as it ranges from
animation through utilitarian objects of a personal scale to sensitive
recycled narrative jewelry. The materials used are diverse and range
from; titanium, aluminum, silver, leather, rusted and stainless steel,
enamel, wood and hand coloured paper.
