Worn Forms
17 September - 17 October 2026

“Worn Forms“ explores jewellery as small-scale, portable sculpture, bringing together artists who work across jewellery, sculpture, textiles and material experimentation. The exhibition considers the intimate relationship between object, body and wearer, moving beyond conventional ideas of adornment.
