Ten jewellers using offbeat materials and techniques are taking part in the ‘Precious Materials’ exhibition at Goldsmiths’ Fair, London
Jewellery’s role as an arbiter of self-expression goes under the loupe at the ‘Precious Materials’ exhibition curated by visual artist Roxanne Simone, with ten jewellers considering issues of cultural identity and activism at Goldsmiths’ Fair.
For Simone, the newly appointed RCA Black Chair and co-founder of Crucible, a platform for makers from the Global Majority and LGBTQIA community, the exhibition was a chance to take a deep-dive into her interests. ‘All the artists featured are people who have innovative ways of translating ideas and making and inviting conversations,’ Simone says.
Artists including Siobhan Wallace, Kassandra Lauren Gordon, Lili Murphy-Johnson and Sylver Mair consider themes from the sacrifices of the Windrush generation to the absurdities of social habits and conformities in pieces that distort traditional silhouettes and embrace unexpected materials. ‘The busiest moments have been ensuring all the artists have the support they need while exhibiting. We often forget that access to materials, support to show work and delivery talks are not always easy to navigate for some artists. A curator can ensure that artists are the priority when exhibiting by keeping in contact, supporting and talking through ideas. This is not a challenge but an excellent experience for anyone wishing to represent others’ works.
