This exhibition seeks to put the experience of the visitor at its heart. We want to open a dialogue and to provide the visitor with an extra tool for engaging with contemporary jewellery. So, with this in mind, the members of the group have all responded to each other’s works in a free associative way. These responses have resulted in videos, photographic image collages, sculptural objects, drawings, installations and jewellery. They are displayed alongside the contemporary jewellery thereby becoming a tool for engagement and dialogue. We hope visitors will participate by also responding to the work. We will make media available at the venue for this purpose. We hope to see the exhibition change and grow as we add visitor responses to the exhibition throughout its duration.
