Disparate Unity

Marina Babic
Suzanne Carlsen
Annie Tung
Margaret Lim
Patrycja Zwierzynska

An exhibition of work by Jewellery Studio artists-in-residence. The artist-in-residency programme celebrates and advocates diverse approaches to making. Conceptual concerns may differ but cohesion is achieved by virtue of these variances and the use of the body as site. Traditional and non-traditional materials are used, scale is challenged and ideas about a jeweller’s role in society are explored.

Suzanne Carlsen | From Field to Feast

Annie Tung | Locket I and Locket II

Margaret Lim | Plum Blossoms in Autumn

Runs Saturday 15 November 08 through Sunday 4 January 09
