Description

This exhibition traces Helge Larsen’s and Darani Lewers’ work since 1986 and highlights the development of their jewellery, design and metalwork; jewellery as an expression of the social, cultural and built environment of Australia rather than merely a concern of precious metals and stones. This exhibition focuses on Larsen’s and Lewers’ continued development of ideas and process within jewellery, documenting works from the early stages of research and design right through to the production of the individual pieces. A Manly Art Gallery & Museum Touring Exhibition with the support of Visions of Australia.
