….. with moves like MacGyver is a juried show that will examine the creative process at which a maker will go through to complete a piece that they did not originally have the tools necessary to do so.
This exhibition will give views a glimpse into the process these artists use to improvise, exquisitely craft, or get downright inventive to help get the job done.
The exhibition will feature two pieces from each maker selected: one jewellery object displayed alongside a specialised tool that was created by the maker for the sole purpose of completing the piece, with the premise that the neither item would exist without the other.
