The transformative process of casting from solid to liquid to solid speaks about metallurgic change, design and production. This is reflected in the material culture of making in the contemporary jewellery field. The complexity in casting and material’s structure lends well as a metaphor to speaking about identity and migration.

Casting is one of the greatest technologies achieved – it changed civilisations, economies, and production methods. Furthermore, its boundless characteristics have found new interpretations and expressions in jewellery. This exhibition looks at how casting is applied in contemporary jewellery practices to speak about identity from makers of the Asian diaspora.

Curated by Bic Tieu, designer, object maker/jeweller and lecturer at the University of NSW. She is interested in ways objects are holders to stories, cultures and knowledge.
