Jeweller Linda Hughes creates bold, 'Stop the Traffic', wearable pieces that reflect the complex theatre of public space. 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.
Now showing at the Craft Victoria window.
