OCCUPATION: Artist began in 2013 as a group of jewellers who supported each other’s practices, shared creative experiences and empowered each others’ ideas. We have since morphed into a group committed to raising jewellery’s profile in the public eye. We are about engagement, outreach and creating a platform upon which jewellery can be uplifted.
Our collective persona leverages the group identity to open up opportunities that are possible collectively but not individually; actions and disruptions that jolt us out of our inward-looking, autonomous practices, and engagements with the community that require a scale and scope beyond the individual.
Together we aim to bring the expanded field of contemporary jewellery to a new audience by raising its public profile and fostering critical discourse.
