Legacy
About the Session

Legacy, showcases 16 contemporary practitioners whose work reflects the movement’s enduring spirit of experimentation. Like their predecessors, these art jewellers often work with non-precious materials, producing pieces that are expressive, sculptural and conceptually adventurous.  Through these wearable artworks, the artists employ art jewellery as a critical medium to reflect upon, comment on, and challenge the world around them, exploring questions of identity, place, social standing, cultural practices, and political viewpoints.

Notes

I have always been fascinated by Biomimicry and I decided to use my passion for plants and handmade jewellery to explore concept in a very fundamental way. I tried to copy the plant exactly and it became an intimate process of understanding both the plant and my material.
