How can jewellery challenge & contribute to the language of sustainability?
What are the conversations about sustainably that are triggered by the jewels we make?
Where are the questions in our practice about sustainability & how do they have a

The ambition for the exhibition is to showcase a holistic & identified concern for sustainability within the field of art jewellery.
This will be evident with works that demonstrate sustainable action within making & material. Works submitted must be art jewellery
& if selected, 3 of your works will be exhibited; one each for the categories: Past, Present & Future.
We are looking for creative, artful, considered & ambitious works that will work away from the body & continue to story tell and start conversations about sustainability.
Works that are time based & metaphysical will be accepted & can be exhibited through photography & or film.
