Striped Inference
In this exhibition, by explicating the relationship between the stripe and its historical context, the audience can engage in a review of the stripe’s contextual history. This enables a critical assessment of the evidence found in the historical sources. Refining the artist’s opinion and informing creative practice is a way of revealing research outcomes via expression in the jewellery artefacts.
