Touch, Pause, Engage Auckland Rematch

Katherine Wheeler (Aust) Existence Ring

Touch, Pause, Engage 2011 opens on February 4th alongside Best in Show 2011

When Touch, Pause, Engage went to Sydney in October 2010 we were looking for the same sense of community and collegial spirit that gives the New Zealand contemporary jewellery scene its energy and identity.

We found it and now, thanks to the support of Programme Director Matt Blomeley, in February there will be a re-match on home ground when the NZ fifteen together with fifteen Australian jewellers show in the Window at Objectspace. (text by Raewyn Walsh)
