The Temporary Nature of Things: A solo exhibition by Melbourne-based jeweler Sim Luttin at Pieces of Eight Gallery
MELBOURNE: Pieces of Eight Gallery presents The Temporary Nature of Things, an exquisite solo exhibition by jeweller Sim Luttin. Creating a piece of jewellery each day for one year, Luttin’s ‘3D-diary’ is a collection of work that has come to embody contemplations on life, time, and indeed, temporality. The exhibition opens on September 16 and runs until October 11, 2008.
Musing over Luttin’s jewelery and objects is like taking a long stroll and stumbling upon unexpected discoveries along the way. There is both a refined quality and something more organic and spontaneous to Luttin’s work. In all cases, each piece captures the unpredictability of contemplations made in a single day.
Creating a piece a day over one year was part of Luttin’s MFA (Metalsmithing and Jewelery Design) completed at Indiana University, USA, 2008. Showing for the first time in Australia The Temporary Nature of Things displays a selection of the work taken from the larger body created. The overall collection was exhibited at SoFA Gallery, Indiana, USA in April, 2008.
“These small objects represent the temporarily of life; fleeting moments, small observations now past. [They] will be cast out, with no knowledge of who might eventually pick them out to ‘plant’ them into their lives…The original intention is transferred, meaning is reinterpreted, but the object hopefully lives on, mediated by the hand of another; a new story beginsâ€.
