Nine silversmiths and jewellers explore the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature in this exhibition, reflecting on the environmental impact of the materials we use and proposing more sustainable approaches to sourcing and making.

 

At the heart of the exhibition is Anthropoware V, Eva Lynch's final work in a series of kinetic sculptures, inviting visitors to engage directly with the piece while celebrating natural materials and the enduring value of skilled handcraft.

​

Alongside Eva Lynch, the exhibition features the work of Clodagh Molloy, Eimear Conyard, Cecilia Moore, Cóilín Ó Dubhghaill, Angela O'Kelly, Rauni Higson, Stuart Cairns, Cara Murphy and Sandra Wilson. Together, these artists explore the relationship between people, materials and the natural world, challenging viewers to consider the environmental and ethical impact of the materials we choose and the objects we create. Inspired by the tenacity of ivy, the piece encircles the body, symbolising the inseparable relationship between humanity and the natural world. By transforming reclaimed precious metal into an object of adornment and reflection, the work speaks to my ongoing commitment to sustainable making and examines how contemporary jewellery can communicate environmental narratives through material, form and craftsmanship.
