"Not the Family Jewels!" is an exhibition exploring non-precious and in some cases “not-so-wearable” wearable artworks . Artists include: Gabriel Craig, Arthur Hash, Lauren Kalman (shown), Masumi Kataoka, Katja Korsawe, Edward McCartney, Gwendolyn McLarty, Erika Pahk, Natalya Pinchuk, Gary Schott, Amy Weiks, and Kristi Wilson. Some materials and approaches in the show include credit cards, fishing bobs, felt, performance, rawhide, rubber bands, seed bombs, terry cloth, video, vintage quilt remnants, and zip ties.
March 2010, the Society of North American Goldsmiths (SNAG) will be meeting in Houston for their annual conference. So timing, along with my own artistic interests in non-traditional materials (if there is such a distinction) and exhibition contexts (in this case the body) fueled my interest in sharing these artists’ work.
