Deep Material Energy III

Deep Material Energy III brings together the work of eight artists from Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia whose jewellery/object practices showcase a deep connection with and curiosity about materials. All the works include found and recycled materials, gleaning components from the city streets, regional landscape, op shops and scrap metal merchants to explore and recontextualise their cultural and political resonances.   

Exhibition includes works by Cara johnson, Inari Kiuru, Claire McArdle, Kelly McDonald, Victoria McIntosh, Neke Moa, Rowan Panther and Lisa Waup. 

Curated by Heather Galbraith. 

This exhibition has been produced by RMIT University at RMIT Gallery with the support of Toi Rauwharangi College of Creative Arts, Massey University. It is presented as part of the Radiant Pavilion Contemporary Jewellery and Object Biennial.
