Description

Catalogue to accompany the exhibition Beneath the Skin, curated by Maria Hanson (Reader in Metalwork and Jewellery at Sheffield Hallam University) at Sheffield Institute of Arts Gallery in 2011. The exhibition brought together eight academic researchers working within the field of contemporary metalwork and jewellery in order to reveal the research that underpins the object – to visualise and articulate the complex, multi-faceted and often non-linear creative journey that individual researchers make to get to the final object.

With work by Jivan Astfalck, Elizabeth Callinicos, Jack Cunningham, Andreas Fabian, Chris Knight, Cóilín O’Dubhghaill, Laura Potter and Jessica Turrell and text by Paul Chamberlain and Maria Hanson.
