RE:PRODUCTION

Current exhibition

RE: PRODUCTION
3 - 15 June 2010

Adorning almost every surface of a room, re:production is an exhibition of roughly 500 images that document the practices of a diverse range of contemporary jewellery makers. By removing the ‘end product’ of a work and displaying only the documentation in the form of a series of images, the viewer is given a different perspective from which to understand further the workings of contemporary jewellery practice.

Thursday 3 to Tuesday 29 June 2010

Girls For Boys

The long long silence is because I've been a busy little bee due to my involvement in the group show: Girls For Boys.

It opened on Thursday 28th August at GAFFA GALLERY and runs until September 9th. Level 1/7 Randle Street, Surry Hills.

It is a fab show, anyone interested in contemporary jewellery should check it out, especially boys!

Here's some blurb from the press release:

Finally an exhibition of jewellery & objects that shines a light on adornment for men.

Ten female graduates of the Jewellery & Object Design, Advanced Diploma course from the Design Centre Enmore have united to address a need increasingly voiced by their male peers. Tired of being asked why it doesn't seem to exist, these ten girls have created an exhibition of quirky, unique and handmade contemporary jewellery & objects, made for and inspired by boys.

Participants are:

Georgina Pattinson

Lisa Furno

Majella Beck

Natalie Klave

Natasha Marcus-Taylor

Nikki Majajas

Pamela Suares

Radka Passianova

Sonya Scott

Tamahra Prowse

Most of the work is for sale and there are also gorgeous catalogues available to buy.

The opening night was a smashing success, apparently one of the biggest in the gallery's history. Thankyou to everyone who attended, I hope you enjoyed the show!!!

NEIS nightmares!!

I havent posted for a few weeks due to having started the NEIS training course, which for the uninitiated is a government funded scheme to help people become self employed. Oh it is really great and such an amazing course and run by a fantastic woman, but boy it makes my head hurt. Hopefully it will mean longevity and success for Pearls Before Swine.

But on a lighter and more enjoyable and time wasting note, I stumbled across this cute webpage with gorgeous photos of cupcake tattoos. Knock yourselves out sweeties!

Very excitingly Pearls Before Swine has had a bit of a write up by fabulous journalist Ida Lamberton.
