Remade-Reloved, curated by Bridget Kennedy, presents eighteen contemporary makers to explore the principles of the circular economy through the lens of jewellery and small object practice.
Jewellery artists, from emerging makers to well-established , receive a bag of broken or unwanted costume jewellery generously donated by the community.
The premise is simple, but provides a creative challenge: to take these overlooked, mass-produced adornments and transform them into new contemporary work that provokes the consideration of material value. Using costume jewellery invites makers to experiment and adapt their usual techniques. Through smashing, melting, reconfiguring, layering, deconstructing, and reconstructing, they push the material and themselves into unfamiliar territory.
