Cautionary street signage is designed to scream its presence; yet with familiarity can become invisible amid the sheer everydayness of the streetscape. Lifting familiar motifs into a jewellery context re-examines the subject. These abstracted jewellery forms carry symbolism and colour codes from the street. Placed on the body the work does not assume adornment, but invites attention and reflection on the continual commentary that directs the traveler.<br /><br />Now showing at the Craft Victoria window.<br /><br />:: SIGNWEAR ::<br />25 May - 14 June 2009<br />Craft Victoria<br />31 Flinders Lane<br />Melbourne, Victoria, AustraliaG&Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16100468114197104513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088026570312600044.post-35973716686727532722009-06-03T05:30:00.014-05:002009-06-04T09:01:10.688-05:00Public Programs June 2009<div style="text-align: left;" class="Section1"><p style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(223, 25, 33);font-family:'Museo 700';" ><b><span style="font-size:180%;">Public Programs June</span></b></span><span style="color: rgb(223, 25, 33);font-family:'Museo 700';" ><b><span style="font-size:180%;"> 2009</span></b></span></p><p style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;"><span style="color: rgb(223, 25, 33);font-family:'Museo 700';" ><span style="font-size:180%;"> </span></span></p><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;">SCHMUCK 2009 Contemporary Jewellery</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Panel discussion with SCHMUCK Director Wolfgang Lösche<br />‘What is Contemporary Jewellery?’<br />Friday 5 June 12-1 pm<br /><br /></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">RMIT Gallery is proud to present the prestigious SCHMUCK 2009 exposition of contemporary jewellery.
