Contemporary jewellery artists Fran Carter and Caroline Thomas present Moments of Jewelleryness, an exhibition of jewellery and object that contemplates commonly held conceptions of jewellery and ideas of adornment.
Since 2017 the pair have documented moments of artistic inspiration found in unlikely places within the urban environment – scattered detritus, wonky pipes, road markings, rusty chains - scenes and objects from the everyday that strike a spark of creativity in the mind of a maker.
Moments of Jewelleryness gives form to these ideas, revealing the creative potential of seemingly ordinary encounters. Carter and Thomas transform a series of inspirational moments into objects, all of which are informed by the artists’ individual and collective understanding of ‘jewelleryness’. Cigarette filters become a chain of adornment, a found wooden box is transformed into a brooch.
In the lead up to the exhibition and throughout its run, Carter and Thomas will be distributing a limited edition of ‘Moments of Jewelleryness’ magnets around Wellington. Upon discovery, the artists invite people to share their own encountered jewellery moments via social media. These encounters will contribute to the project as it continues to evolve on Instagram @moments_of_jewelleryness.
