RMIT graduates ‘Greater Than, Less Than’ @ RMIT

28 11 2014

You’d be forgiven for not knowing about this exhibition … graduates of RMIT Object-based Practice Gold & Silversmithing are showing some of their work at RMIT Building 2 (level 2, left at the top of the stairs).

They’ve titled the show ‘Greater Than, Less Than‘ and are using the >< signs in the catalogue … the mathematician in me loves this.

I walked away with my works lists scribbled all over, highlighting the pieces I liked.

Again, I fear my “liked” list would just be a repeat of the artist listing … but I’ll try to keep to a top three:

Jenna O’Brien’s enameled neckpieces ‘Hyde #1‘ and ‘Jekyll #1‘ are fantastic, and what marvellous feel for colour
Natasha Sutila’s ‘Composition III‘, an arrangement of painted pins on the wall, is clever and arresting
Rossmore Childs’s smithed objects pleased me (as smithed objects do!)
Mirinda Oosten’s ring group is displayed in an especially imaginative manner (below)

you’ll notice I failed to keep to just three ….
