Inseparable Companion

casting new shadows with jewellery + objects

The annual end-of-year exhibition of the Design Centre Enmore’s Jewellery + Object Design students is eagerly anticipated among Australia’s arts and design community. Each year, the work produced by the students proves to be innovative, unique and of the highest standard.

The 2010 exhibition is titled Inseparable Companion: Casting New Shadows with Jewellery + Objects. This title refers to the connection the students feel to their work, the connection between the jewellery and the wearer and the inseparability of the physical object and the shadow it casts.

Over 500 handmade pieces by more than 60 students will be on display and available for sale. This covetable collection includes wearable jewellery as well as larger-scale sculptural objects.

The Jewellery + Object Design department at the Design Centre Enmore consistently graduates independently recognised talented designers, and this exhibition offers the opportunity to see and own examples from the next generation of designer/makers.

Inseparable Companion will be held at the Danks St Galleries, Depots I & II; located at the rapidly rising design hub Danks St, Waterloo, and will run from the 1st to the 5th of December.

This exhibition strongly focuses on achieving the smallest carbon footprint possible using everything from soybean based ink for printing materials, to biodegradable materials to build display units.

It’s your chance to meet the artists as they launch their future careers and pave the way for this growing industry. Every year the quality of design and workmanship displayed breaks new ground and challenges the boundaries of contemporary Jewellery + Object Design.

Inseparable Companion, Depot Galleries I + II, 2 Danks Street Waterloo, 1-5 December 2010, Gallery Hours 11am – 6pm
