Meet Me is an exhibition of Minna Loft’s jewellery works created in response to many days spent together with different women exchanging skills and ideas. The final objects are the tangible result of communication that has occurred throughout the making process. ‘The jewellery pieces created are made using skills such as beading and textile related crafts taught to me by women with a diverse range of backgrounds. Meet Me is an opportunity for me to honour the skills of these women I have worked with and to encourage dialogue on how craft is appreciated both locally and globally.’

About the Artist

Minna Loft: As an Australian born maker I am influenced by many cultures from across the globe. I have a strong interest in the historical traditions of craft and the way in which skills and techniques are passed on through generations. My practice is based around communal creation with the sharing of skills being an integral aspect of my work. The making process is a means for social interaction and communication while I engage with traditional craftspeople both in Australia and abroad. This approach enables me to utilise craft making processes to encourage and assist the preservation of cultural heritage and diversity.
