Infecting the City

Infecting the City 2011

I got mixed reviews when discussing Infecting the City with my peers, it seems as though not many people liked the exhibition. My thoughts on the subject are that because we who are making jewellery are so used to working with clean shiny metal that the rustic and rudementary style of the exhibition was slightly unappealing.
We are not normally exposed to alternative materials such as plastic, bone or even recycled materials for example and because jewellery is so ancient in its style and appeal we hold onto the idea of clean lines in our design style. Green and recycled materials are a very recent trend in jewellry making.
