For those who've come across the seas
We've boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine
To advance Australia fair.

Island Welcome is a group exhibition exploring contemporary jewellery as a gesture of greeting. Inspired by the respectful ceremonial honouring of a welcome garland found in many traditional island cultures, established Australian contemporary jewellers Jane Bowden, Michelle Cangiano, Jess Dare, Nicky Hepburn, Kath Inglis, Vicki Mason, Belinda Newick and Lauren Simeoni will each design and make a single welcome garland/neckpiece interpreting the theme of ‘welcome”, in in response to current Australian immigration and refugee policy.

Exhibiting in the multicultural hub of Brunswick Victoria, the exhibitions aim is to connect with the community and find a creative response to this issue. Acknowledging of the ongoing work of the Australia Refugee Association A.R.A. a portion of sales of pieces will be donated.

Pieces of Place – the Hoffman brick as a found urban artifact

11th Aug to 8th Oct

The way we live in our urban environments is changing. As our neighborhood landscapes grow taller and busier, the changing skyline provokes mixed feelings in our communities and suburbs. The unearthing of the soil and stone and collapsing of the bricks and mortar leaves us wondering about the lives and stories which have occupied these sites: the walls and ceilings, factories and sheds. Attachment to these places brings an emotional engagement and a wish to protect our surrounds. We look for pieces of place to hold onto, we wonder who made these bricks that built these walls?
