Do we wear jewellery or does jewellery wear us? When we wear jewellery, who has the last say? Is it the jewels themselves, projecting the voice of the materials as well as of the artist who forged them? Or is it the body, reverberating on them through its own landscape and movement?
In this small series, the jewels and the body are encouraged to play a participatory counterpoint in which their independent melodies can contrast or complement each other to orchestrate the harmony that is wearing jewellery.
