In this exhibition, four jewellers explore the materiality of four distinct mediums: paper, plastic, metal, and stone. Each artist, who currently identifies with one of these materials, will create works inspired by the theme of paper-plastic-metal-stone. They are invited to consider the social and cultural history of their chosen medium and examine how it interacts—historically, culturally, and aesthetically—with the other materials. While each artist is encouraged to engage with their “assigned” medium, they are not limited to it, but instead urged to pursue a path that champions the “unreadymade,” creating works of sentimental and shared value, as Joshua Simon describes, to imbue meaning into our neomaterial economy.

Paper-Plastic-Metal-Stone will feature approximately sixteen jewellery/art objects, with each participating artist presenting around four small works.

participating artists:
Emi Fukuda – (paper)
Clementine Edwards – (plastic)
Gillian Deery – (metal)
Katie Jayne Britchford – (stone)
