Morph

27 August - 8 October 2022

‘MORPH’ represents the final body of work created by the twelve
participants of Handshake6.

Historically, morph derives from the Greek morph, meaning ‘form’, ‘shape’,
or ‘structure’ - all key attributes of jewellery practice.
Morph also refers to transformation, and this exhibition seeks to
demonstrate this quality in the development of each participant’s practice
through their engagement with both the mentors and with each other.
Finally, in linguistics, morph is understood as the smallest unit of language
with meaning. As individuals within a collective, we may consider each as
a morph - each participant clearly understood on their own terms, but
whom collectively express a language greater than the sum of their parts.
