Description
Australian Jewellery Topos displays the work of eighteen imaginative and highly creative Australian contemporary jewellery artists as they engage with topos Greek, literally: place and its multi-layered potential as historical and contemporary place, personal and public place, time and circumstance. These artists are exhibiting and have exhibited together internationally in North America and Europe, at the Gallery Loupe in New Jersey, USA, in 2011, and at the Galerie Marzee in Nijmegen, Netherlands, in 2009.
