virtual exhibition
Thursday, January 31st, 2008I’ve been invited to take part in a virtual exhibition called “Composting Good and Evil: Redesign for Sanctimonious Sinners!” which is a bit of a mouthful, but an interesting idea.
It’s been organised by a group called Ethical Metalsmiths which in itself is interesting because as an environmentalist as well as working in silver, the ethics of silver mining are something that have allways bothered me. They found me on a search engine & thought that my work & environmentally friendly & plastic recycling ideas (with my recycled plastic jewellery) would fit in well with the concept of their exhibition.
I know they’re on the other side of the planet but it’s good to know that there are other silver & goldsmiths out there who worry about where their metal comes from. It’s something that’s allways bothered me but have never been able to find anything out in this country. This will be a good starting place for me to do some more reseach into ethical jewellery making.
