Bye bye Bilk : (<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’re an industry person in Australia you’ve probably already heard that Bilk Gallery is not renewing its lease next February<\/a>. I’ve been with them since 2010 and they are the gallery which hosted my two recent solo exhibitions Body Politic<\/em> in 2016 and Marfa, TX<\/em> in 2019. Needless to say they have a sprawling collection of my work, so if you are in or near Canberra I encourage you to check them out for all your last-minute gift-giving! While you’re there I’d encourage you to get on the mailing list to attend the Carlier Makigawa opening in January, I know it will be an epic celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Less is more<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I don’t think I really mentioned it here, but I stopped making production line pieces when I moved back to Australia last year. I’m focussing on exhibition works with the occasional limited series. My galleries have returned a bunch of production works however, so if there was something in the Resist<\/em> or Body Politic<\/em> lines that you never got while they were in store please do get in touch, I might be holding the last of what you seek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ciao for now… Bini!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It also means that I will say farewell to having permanent stock at Bini<\/a> in Collingwood, but I hope to tour some shows there in future. My plan for the new year is research, alongside coordinating and making works for the Connexions<\/em> exhibition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connexions<\/em> exhibition??<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why yes! Connexions<\/a> is an exhibition conceived and created by Blandine Hall\u00e9 and I, which will include ourselves along with Emily Beckley, Fatemeh Boroujeni, Eden Lennox, Sultana Shamshi and Maryann Talia Pau. It will show in Paris for the Parcours Bijoux<\/a> triennial jewellery festival next year, and the following year will be presented in Perth for the Indian Ocean Craft Triennial<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xmas shopping!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Future projects are on the up, but for the current moment you can also find a collection at Bridget Kennedy Project Space in North Sydney <\/a>(top pic and below are both from this collection.) It’s from my limited series of last year entitled Contain<\/em> and is handmade from shipping container steel that I cut from a segment I bought in Tacoma at a container renovator. They make old shipping containers into things like site offices and storage space. And sometimes their parts happen to become jewellery ; )<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy end-of-year and solstice celebrations y’all, hope you get some time out to chill at this frenzied year’s end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
